Re: short report of 2010-03-31 teleconference

Sorry about tonight - I exceptionally had to have a cinema night with
my son, so couldn't make it, but forgot to let you know beforehand.
Sending out the meeting notice only a few hours before the meeting
actually didn't help planning it either.

Anyway - I am still curious with Yves' objection to the
Range-Equivalent header. I have not understood why we cannot use it in
the reply. It is not being used in the request, so there should be no
issue, IMO. But I have yet to hear and understand the reasons.

Cheers,
Silvia.
