OK, but if the charter does _not_ mention work on HTML, then HTML experts will not get signalled to take a look. I'm OK with that *only* if the DIX WG is bound to *not use* any HTML syntax in order to interoperate.
OK, I'm all for getting the right people at the table.
My understanding is that DIX is currently deployed, to some extent, and that to interoperate with the deployed services, you have to do some HTML stuff.
DMD1 is deployed as part of the SXIP 2.0 protocol from Sxip Identity. And, yes DMD1 is based on HTTP/HTML... and DMD1 should call that out more clearly. I have that action for the next draft.
The charter should err on the side of noting all communities of experties that might be relevant.
Agreed, I will edit the proposed draft charter to reflect more strongly that HTTP/HTML is a likely transport layers for DIX. I hope that a result of the DIX BOF tomorrow will be increased clarity around the scope of DIX and that we can make some definitive statements around HTTP/HTML.
