Could it be that no-one cares about this issue based on how its framed? The issue is fundamental, the narrative to date, a whole different matter. IMHO. the issue remains one of clarity (problem definition and suggested solutions) and a troubling tendency to tackle this whole matter as though its has no counterpart elsewhere. As I've stated repeatedly, the only thing that's new re. http-range-14 is the fact that hyperlinks and HTTP are being used to surface a an old concept via AWWW. Name and Address distinctions are integral to computing and has worked for a very long time, without dividing development or programmer communities. If we continue to hope that fashioning this whole matter as a concept unique to the Web, due to HTTP URI utilization, it will never be solved because it will always confuse a significant constituency be it developers, power-users, or even end-users.
