Yes, but as I explained in this email -- http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-dist-auth/2005JanMar/0065.html -- the bindings draft introduces the possibility for client behavior which could be harmful to interoperability unless the way that ETags interact with bindings is defined. Since bindings first introduces this possibility, that's our best choice for a document in which to resolve that potential interoperability problem.
