Novell will still support IPP if it's only ratified as an "informational" =
RFC.

All,
I am sending this message to the PWG members rather than to the IPP DL.
Latest news from Keith Moore seems to indicate that he wants to enforce
what was in his recent document:
On the use of HTTP as a Substrate for Other Protocols
<draft-iesg-using-http-00.txt>
which would mean development of new not yet existing security features,
which we all know can take a loooong time.
He indicates that we can probably get the IPP RFCs out if we were
prepared to drop the aim of getting them on the standards track.
What is your reaction? How many of you would be willing to let the IPP
documents be downgraded to "Informational" instead?=20
If I can get a quick feedback from you on the PWG DL and there is
sufficiently much support for that, I may be able to negotiate a deal
with our Area Directors along those lines next week in Chicago.
