Hi Patrick,

A couple of questions:

On 03/07/2018 15:51, Patrick McManus wrote:
From an HTTP pov: new response headers, such as the proposed geo-scope-block, would really benefit from a more rigorous syntax than is provided here..  see: sections 2 and 3 of https://httpwg.org/http-extensions/draft-ietf-httpbis-variants.html#variants for how a current wg draft does it. Also, its composition of a list of country codes should probably be a MUST as Tim hints.

Tim's concerns resonate with me as questions a WG really should debate and reach rough consensus on rather than this being an AD sponsored doc (especially as its a defacto update of a standards track document by an informational one). I'm not sure which WG - httpbis did not have a critical mass of interest in this in the past.

If not in HTTPBIS, then where? I don't see energy in creating a new WG to work on this.

Is it better to publish this document than not publish it at all?

Best Regards,
Alexey

Abstract


   This draft recommends protocol updates to Hypertext Transfer Protocol
   (HTTP) status code 451 (defined by RFC7725) based on an examination
   of how the new status code is being used by parties involved in
   denial of Internet resources because of legal demands.  Also included
   is an analysis of HTTP 451 from a human rights perspective using
   guidelines from RFC8280.

   Discussion of this draft is at https://www.irtf.org/mailman/listinfo/
   hrpc [1] and https://lists.ghserv.net/mailman/listinfo/statuscode451
