Hi Bryan, I'm wondering if you could provide us more details about the following requirement: > Rxx. User-Agent Profile Header > A conforming specification must specify that the widget should > identify its capabilities in HTTP requests through the Profile header > as described by [CCPPexchange] > (http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-CCPPexchange). > > Motivation: > > Current development practice or industry best-practices, interoperability. > > Rationale: > > To provide the ability for web servers to determine if it is possible > to serve the widget, or to adapt to the capabilities or special > requirements of the widget, using semantic methods based upon detailed > capabilities information provided by the widget. I haven't seen CCPP used anywhere in the widget space. I'm wondering if you could provide some more use cases for this requirement? It seems a bit strong to have this a "must" requirement particularly as CCPP exchange seems to add quite a bit of complexity to implementations.
