Sorry, my statement was ambiguous. To be more specific: "I think the HTML5 requirement should be changed to allow any header in the Permanent Message Header Field Registry to be registered as a pragma extension (instead of only headers defined by an RFC)." I think this has no impact on your point of concern. > OTOH, if we want to enable only pragmas that the HTML layer must > recognize for backwards-compatibility, enumerating the permitted > values is quite reasonable. Are you suggesting that the pragma extensions registry should be removed entirely? Regards, Maciej
