The charter does not make it clear if HTTP/2.0 will be single or multiple protocol and that decision should be made before people start spending serious time on proposals. If it is multiprotocol, there is a "market" for special purpose transport protocols, such as HTTP over UDP. If it is single protocol, there is only a market for a single protocol, general enough to satisfy the widest possible range of users. We need to give people that guidance, so they know what they are writing a protocol for. So what is it ? single or multi ? -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
