Obviously, since I proposed it, I'm OK with it. I haven't seen anyone else with an opinion. Overall, I've seen a handful of "I need this" and one "I've implemented this", lots of misunderstanding about what the proposal is, and a handful of "There's no use for this." There's been some discussion of what the seperator character should be, which is fine but irrelevant if the answer to the bigger question is "no". Since the majority of the comments since the IETF meeting have been negative, I'm inclined to drop this work. I still think it's necessary, but if the major players in the WG push against it then I'm not going to pursue it. Bill
