I’d like to point out Nathan’s proposal of superset and subset specifications [2], which (IMHO) stands a very good chance of gathering even more consensus than TallTed’s successful proposal [1]. Although different in nature, Nathan’s proposal effectively converges towards a similar set of compromises: no mandatory conneg, support for json-ld and html formats, no MUST on any specific format. As Henry pointed out, I did close my own PR as I am unable to break down significant centers of consensus such as these into independent, micro-sized PRs. Not only I am unable to but I am very skeptical it can be done at all, although I’d be very happy if someone were to prove me wrong. Nonetheless, we have two proposals that a lot of us - dare I say most of us? - could stand behind. There clearly is consensus if one is willing to look for it and embrace a little compromise. Henry, I do not share your perspective that sees this group having made progress in the past year(s). While it is irrefutable that some changes were made, I can’t see any of these having put us any closer to a final draft. I don’t think we’d be contemplating handing over to the Solid WG if this wasn’t the case.
