Hi,

thanks for the feeedback. The document in question does have a related 
WG (webdav) and indeed has been discussed and informally last-called on 
the WG's mailing list, but when I asked didn't find enough support to 
make it a working group work item.

There are other things on the WG's agenda with high priority that I 
don't want to interfere with; but once those are done and in case my 
submission hasn't made any progress by then I'll try to get the 
Applications Area Director to look at it.

 From a procedural point of view it would be nice if ID's that are in 
the RFC Editor's queue would not expire after 6 months (do they right now?).


Best regards, Julian
