Of likely interest to the TAG: in a note [1] posted to the HTTP working group mailing list, Mark Nottingham discusses SPDY, points out that there are other attempts out there at optimizing HTTP, and suggests that: "There seems to be broad agreement that the time is ripe to start work on a new version of HTTP in the IETF, and that it should happen in this Working Group." He also mentions his discussions with the TAG. Perhaps not surprisingly, the press today is full of reports with headlines like [2]: "Google's SPDY Incorporated Into Next-Gen HTML, Offers TCP Enhancements" I don't read Mark's note as specifically endorsing SPDY, except as a potential starting point, but [2] is linked from a Slashdot posting [3] that says: "Mark Nottingham, called for it [SPDY]to be included in the HTTP 2.0 standard." Anyway, the announcement by Mark at [1] seems to me very consistent with the direction he discussed with us at the TAG F2F earlier this month, and speaking for myself, it seems like very good news.
