I have not seen this consensus you refer to. The contrary. I see<br>
support for such a document.<br>
<br>
I personally support such a document in the IETF, and have told you<br>
and everyone I have been asked.<br>
<br>
The URI you have above does not resolve. I get back a 404.<br>
<br>
Regarding earlier versions of this document, I think it is a fine<br>
start, but too bound to "web based applications". I.e. ok as such, but<br>
if applicable to more protocols than web/http, it could be more<br>
generic. But see comments on in what order the wg have cycles for<br>
working on multiple documents and multiple threads.<br>
