Right, but is it relevant? I think that if it is relevant to mention it 
should be there, to chase out comments. If it is likely to chase out an 
irrelevant debate, it shouldn't be there, I think.

Yup, our discussion may very well not be. I would really like to have a 
straw poll on the topic before we proceed any further. But then, I 
understand that people want a FPWD ASAP...

If we do have enough time for a straw poll, I suggest voting over the 
following questions, separately:

1) The HTTP Update protocol is required to be RESTful. (+1, yes; 0, 
preferred, but not required; -1, it could be anything)

2) The protocol must specify how to use POST, PUT, GET and DELETE on a URI 
identifying information resource graph. (+1, yes, required; 0, optional; 
-1, WG shouldn't spend time on it)

3) The protocol must specify how to use manipulate a graph with a proxy 
graph identifier. (+1, yes, required; 0, optional; -1, WG shouldn't spend 
time on it)

They can be voted on separately, if it is voted in 1) that it must be 
RESTful and we can't find a way to do it in 3), we must drop it, after a 
thorough investigation.

Cheers,
