I don't often just hand out the mindless "+1", preferring to point out in detail when the perfectly-valid concerns of others are being rejected out-of-hand, as recently compelled me to re-engage ietf-http-wg over implicit C-E. Further re-hashing the facts wouldn't have served any purpose. Pointing out that the WG needed to step off and reconsider architectural ramifications proved much more effective, possibly because someone not named Roy or Julian reinforced it? Not my desired result, but far better than what was proposed. So, not a waste of my time, since my posting is limited to when I'm too exhausted from spending time with the dog to do anything else but catch up on Web architecture -- which I remain passionate about despite my utter disillusionment with the direction it's taken (and the reasons for it). -Eric
