Michael, Can I echo what Tom and Christian have said - that you join the 6man working group and start by clearly and concisely stating the problem that this RFC poses for your application and how you suggest we fix it?
When you speak of "hundreds of millions of printers..." it gives the impression that the RFC makes illegal something that printers have been doing for some time. If so, can you also provide relevant references to the deployed functionality that you believe this RFC makes illegal? -K- On Fri, May 24, 2013 at 1:45 PM, Christian Huitema <huit...@microsoft.com>wrote: > Can we move from the process discussion to the technical discussion? > > Michael raised an interesting issue, and we have to analyze it.
