action-97, application to other protocols, proposed text

in the expression spec. introduction:

The protocol is expressed here in terms of HTTP communication.  However, the semantics are not restricted to use in HTTP; the same semantics may be carried by other protocols, either in future revisions of this specification, or in other specifications.  

(and then someone else has the task of saying in the compliance spec. something about using the same semantics in other protocols, if you use them, and it's not an excuse to use another protocol and track people because that protocol didn't seem to have a binding for these semantics).
