Rough concensus that this simplification in the forms of acceptable relative
URIs (not allowing . or ..) is a generally good thing, erring on the side of
consistency in both request and response formats for URIs. Also with the hope
that client and server implementations will be more straightforward and / or
performant than otherwise.

Agreed we can make the requirement more general -- the server MUST evaluate all
URIs that aren't lock tokens as "false".

Document organization around Changes section


I would like to propose that WG arranging the Changes section of bis into
changes that apply to both server and client, things that apply mostly the
client is interested in, and things that mostly the server is interested in.
I recognize that there are many ways we could organize this section and have
talked to several people both in and out of WG about it. My hope is that if
we do it this way, it will become much clearer to everyone what exactly is
the best way to organize it even if this is not the best way.

Thanks, Cullen

Re: change notifications


I'm realize the Bug postings are a huge amount of "spam" on the list and I
apologize. I have considered changing it but I think it is going to be done
really soon now and it would take awhile to change. I'd like to ask everyone
to please just try and put up with it for another 3 weeks. (sort by subject
of "[Bug" and mass delete :-)

The bugzilla has been a useful tool for coordinating the work and passing it
back and forth between people as well as tracking the changes. The posting
to the list ensure that the data is properly archived, visible to all
participants, and subject to the IETF IPR rules. You are right I could get
another list set up but in the past this has been slow to get done (rumor
has it that it is faster now).

I think the volume will step down by a factor of 10 fairly soon - ether
because we WGLC bis or all the key contributors heads explode.

Cullen (with my chair hat on)
