Are you asking them to say we know of no relevant patents?

...

I know of no relevant patents.


Dan - Mark answered the question I was asking; sorry my question  
wasn't more clear.



And Arthur, while we appreciate the attempt at humor, UniMess is not
our favorite abbreviation ;). Among ourselves, we've been using UM.
Hence the change of subject.


I wasn't trying to be humorous Mark, so sorry about that - UM it is.

Hi Art,

For the Status of this Document section, I just copied the text
recommended at:

http://www.w3.org/2005/03/28-editor-style.html

I did not mean to obfuscate any patent disclosure issues. I personally
do not know of any relevant patents.

 Mark, Tyler,

 *IF* this proposal was a WG document, its Status of the Document section
 would include a patent disclosure requirement like the one in CORS:

 [[
 http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-widgets-access-20090804/

 An individual who has actual knowledge of a patent which the individual
 believes contains Essential Claim(s) must disclose the information in
 accordance with section 6 of the W3C Patent Policy.

 Would you two (and anyone else that contributed to the UniMess proposal)
 please make a patent disclosure for your proposal?

 MarkM and I have produced a draft specification for the GuestXHR

 We agree with others that GuestXHR was not a good name and so have
 named the proposal Uniform Messaging for reasons elaborated in the
 specification.

 To parallel the CORS separation of policy from API, this first
 document is the policy specification with an XMLHttpRequest-like API
 yet to follow.

 Abstract:
 
 This document defines a mechanism to enable requests that are
 independent of the client's context. Using this mechanism, a client
 can engage in cross-site messaging without the danger of
 Cross-Site-Request-Forgery and similar attacks that abuse the cookies
 and other HTTP headers that form a client's context. For example, code
 from customer.example.org can use this mechanism to send requests to
 resources determined by service.example.com without further need to
 protect the client's context.
