Nonsense. You know very well that projects I work on will get bug reports on "standards" compliance if you change something. So, yes, I do have to waste my time here. Since I maintain autodiscovery code people actually use, you'd think my opinion would count for something.

== Abstract ==

Don't move forward with the autodiscovery draft.

== Status ==

Proposed

== Rationale ==

At this point there seems to be no reason for the autodiscovery draft to exist, since the WHAT-WG has ably covered the subject in Web Applications 1.0.

Reasons given for the continued existence of the IETF draft have been non-technical doubletalk.

== Proposal ==

Stop work on the autodiscovery draft.

== Impacts ==

Reduces mailing list traffic and standards noise.
