One question, both for you, and also to IG members: would this be an appropriate place for us to capture new requirements, e.g., coming out of any new gap analysis work, where we would usually have used the IG wiki [1]? I think the main problem with any document that captures the state of the art and requirements for possible future work is accuracy over time, especially if the document is assembled from other sources. So it makes total sense to me to use this document to capture new areas of work that the IG believes is worth exploring. That's the reason why we tried to keep the content as simple as possible, with one paragraph per spec/feature, isolated from the rest. I note precise requirements, à la "The user agent MUST provide a way to..." will probably not fit in that document though, as they would be too detailed for it. > >> If people are interested, I'll be happy to present that document during one >> of the IG calls as well as during the group's F2F during TPAC. > > We're currently planning the TPAC agenda so it would be good to include an item on this.
