This is consistent with Blink implementation [1], and to keep this thread focused I'll skip the comments on MD/RQ/etc. That said, happy to discuss those in a separate thread :) > On Thu, Apr 23, 2015 at 7:02 PM, Maciej Stachowiak <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Is the Internet-Draft for this planned to become a standards-track RFC? >> Is there an IETF Working Group that has adopted it? >> >> Yes, and as part of the HTTP WG. /cc mnot > On the spec contents: I’m wary of the fact that the header names are very >> opaque.

I don't believe this is counter to HTTP WG goals or guidance. That said, I'm not opposed to renaming them if there is a strong preference one way or another. > I know spec feedback may be off-topic for an implementation thread, but >> I’m not sure where else to send it since it’s not clear if this >> Internet-Draft is associated with a working group. >> >> Spec feedback is most welcome.
