> Hello TAG, HTML WG, XHTML2 WG, WebApps WG, HCG, Web Security Context  
> WG Chairs,
>
> This is a transition announcement for the Last Call Working Draft of  
> the Guidelines for Web Content Transformation Proxies, published  
> today at:
> http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-ct-guidelines-20091006/
>
> This set of guidelines for Web Content Transformation proxies  
> (i.e. non transparent HTTP proxies) was developed by the W3C Mobile  
> Web Best Practices Working Group to address some of the needs  
> identified in particular on mobile networks, in accordance with the  
> working group's charter [1].
>
> The document was published as Last Call a year ago under the title  
> "Content Transformation Guidelines", and you had been invited to  
> review the specification back then. The Working Group received many  
> comments during the last call review period, and has been working on  
> updating the guidelines since then. The group believes it has now  
> addressed all the comments and decided to publish a second Last Call  
> [2]. Status ref. patent policy is available at [3].
>
> This new Last Call review period extends until 6 November 2009,  
> and we would be grateful if your group could review the document  
> once more, in particular:
> * for the TAG, since the document still relates to its issue  
> genericResources-53 and its accompanying finding:
> http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/alternatives-discovery
> * for the HTML and XHTML2 Working Groups, since the document makes  
> use of the (X)HTML link element to give hints on content  
> transformation proxies
> * for the WebApps Working Group, since the document applies to  
> proxies that may receive requests initiated by XmlHTTPRequest objects.
> * for the HyperText CG, as the official point of liaison with the  
> Open Mobile Alliance which might want to submit a review on the  
> document given its implications on the mobile ecosystem.
> * for the Web Security Context WG, for the section on HTTPS link  
> rewriting.
>
> (The Working Group is also requesting a review from the IETF HTTPBis  
> Working Group).
>
> If your group wants to submit a review but is unable to provide it  
> in that timeframe, please let us know so that we can determine a  
> possible extension of the review period.
>
> The working group has just sent official replies to the commenters  
> of the previous Last Call. At this point of time, there are no  
> formal objections.

> Thanks,
