The new draft of draft-mutz-http-attributes is now available at:
ftp://ds.internic.net/internet-drafts/draft-mutz-http-attributes-01.txt
Most of the syntax changes in the draft are to provide compliance
with the transparent content negotiation method for features described
in: draft-holtman-pre02-19.txt. It's not possible to supply more than
one numeric argument, or any non-numeric argument to features. UA-pix
was broken into two numeric arguments, and UA-media was split into
a set of unique feature tags. I would like to see non-numeric values
for feature tags allowed.
