The intention was to normatively refer to that matching algorithm that actually is equivalent to what RFC2616 used to define (remember, we're not changing the protocol here). Did we pick the wrong one?I responded in my response to John Cowan. I think I would want to reopen this issue. Compatibility is a Good Thing, but as I said, I think language negotiation has evolved somewhat and you could incorporate more of 4647 rather than strictly requiring Basic Filtering. ...
Addison,so I had a look at RFC 4647 and I'm totally open to allow more than Basic Filtering; but I'm not sure about what exactly we want to say...
- require to try Basic Filtering First, but allow to fall back to Lookup when nothing is returned?
- just stay point to Section 3.1 and leave it to the implementer? Best regards, Julian
