Moreover I have seen a lot of mail exchanges raising possible problems in the current version of the WebSocket draft that you should consider and address in the draft or provide to the IETF community good technical reasons why you choose to not consider themThere's a couple of e-mails from earlier today that I haven't yet considered, but other than that, I've read and considered all the e-mails to this list, and provided detailed reasons for rejecting any proposals I've not adopted. If I missed one, please let me know.
Hi Ian,actually in the IETF process one of the main reason to accept or reject a proposal/issue/"request to change something" is based on *"rough consensus"* reached among people involved in the mailing list discussion , especially when the reason for accepting or rejecting are based more on philosophical then technical issues.
The decision to adopt or not a proposal should come from the consensus and not from the decision of a single person. I am sorry to notice, following the ml discussion, that a lot of the proposals have been discarded for philosophical reasons
even if the majority of the people in the ml were in favour.I am not saying that you should adopt them straight, but only that you should keep open the discussion on controversial issues and seek a sort of consensus, among people involved in the discussion, on how to solve them
