If a new mechanism for getting access to the source link is developed, and sent to proposed in a separate RFC, I suspect we could get two interoperable implementations before the end of the 2518 revision period, and hence include the new mechanism, since it too woul dbe at Draft status then. > I > think it would make more sense to have the server and client developers > explain why they did not implement it and then come up with a solution > that they will implement.
