Hi there,

we just published the -16 drafts of Part 1 through 7, which reflect the 
progress we made immediately prior to, during, and past the Quebec meeting.

Overviews are in the appendices:

<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-httpbis-p2-semantics-16.html#changes.since.15>

<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-httpbis-p3-payload-16.html#changes.since.15>

<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-httpbis-p5-range-16.html#changes.since.15>

<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-httpbis-p6-cache-16.html#changes.since.15>

<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-httpbis-p7-auth-16.html#changes.since.15>

Once again, changes are all over the place; parts of P1 and P2 were 
rephrased, some status code clarified. Part 7 (authentication) got a lot 
of attention and for now has no open bugs left; this is a good moment to 
review.

As part of updating P7 we also posted 
draft-ietf-httpbis-authscheme-registrations-02 which now registers the 
Negotiate scheme, despite it not being compatible with the generic HTTP 
authentication framework.

Mark Nottingham, our WG chair, will follow up with a list of tickets
we'd link to close as fixed soonish.

Feedback appreciated, Julian
