This is a very good question.

I've considered setting up a wiki page or similar to serve this purpose for the 
HTTP family of specifications. However, it's not clear what authority it would 
have, and it's not clear whether people would be able to readily find it.

If we can find a way to do this, and to cut through the clutter of all of the 
other information, it would be very helpful IMO. I'm not sure where it would 
start, though.

Cheers,
