None of the members of the WG have indicated the work on the AC4CSR  
spec should stop thus it is still an active work item. I've noted:

Jonas indicated [1] he is working on a solution to the cookie issue  
he raised. I encourage others to contribute to this effort.

Maciej indicated [2] he will analyze the attack issues raised and  
respond.

Regarding the "tone" issue Tyler raised [3], I will respond to that  
separately (on WAF WG's public mail list).
