Is PEP obsolete? No, PEP is not obsolete. At the Washington, DC IETF meeting, a movement was started to create a new HTTP Extensions (EXTEND) working group, whose chair is Josh Cohen, and whose document editor will be Scott Lawrence. This working group is charged with further development of PEP, OPTIONS, and to creation of a draft which gives do's and don'ts for extending HTTP. The HTTP Extensions group has a mailing list. To subscribe, send a mail containing the following: To: ietf-http-ext-request@w3.org Subject: subscribe The group also has a web page: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/ietf-ext-wg/ The WebDAV specification does not reference PEP for two reasons. First, so far we haven't needed the capabilities PEP offers. Second, PEP is currently not a stable enough document to reference from within a proposed specification. However, I can and will put a link from the WebDAV web site to the HTTP Extensions working group. - Jim
