The differences between the 2nd and the 12th recast it as declarative instead of a protocol, which I found to be a major and liberating improvement. The version of the 12th is also semantically much closer to the letter of the httpRange-14 resolution than the version of the 2nd was. From the 12th to today the changes are quite modest. > Since you > previously stated that your call for change proposals would > be opened TODAY, I think it is quite unreasonable to give this > document so little review time before it is frozen. The document has been out in various forms since 19 December and has received little review (immense thanks, you who know who you are); there's been so little interest that I had no reason to think any more was forthcoming. And the call for change proposals marks the continuation of review, not an end, so I would not use the words "frozen" or "deadline". This is simply a milestone. There is no reason your suggestions can't be addressed at a later date, when you make them. Also I am being urged to move things along, and the process and documents are already overworked. That said, I'll give you a few days to review it. If you come up with ways, within reason, to make the treatment of "meaning" more hands-off, to bring the baseline closer to the status quo, or to repair errors in the terminology, that will be a good thing and I'll see what I can do to update the document.
