Comments about http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Architecture#Conten t : proactive distribution

http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Architecture#Content
"The extension of HTTP to include an adaptive system for the proactive
distribution of information as a function of real or anticipated need, and
for the location of close copies, is a natural optimization of the current
muddle of push and pull protocols (SMTP, NNTP, HTTP, and HTTP augmented by
"channel" techniques). This is an area in which the answers are not trivial
and research is quite appropriate"


I'm very interested in this area - especially discussions of HTTP Status
'202 Accepted' and what message metadata and handshaking has to happen for
further response(s) to reach the initial requestor.
