Another draft by Dan Wing - <

>
> People like their computers to work quickly. During the transition
> to new technology, both old and new technologies have to peacefully
> co-exist. However, if users experience connection delays attributed
> to the new technology the new technology will be shunned. HTTP ("The
> Web") is one of the most visible and time-critical applications that
> is used by nearly every Internet user. It is critical that new
> technologies which improve HTTP not impair or delay the display of
> HTTP content. It is also important that users retain the ability to
> share URIs amongst friends and colleagues, even if the other users
> have not upgraded to the new technology. This draft makes several
> recommendations to ensure user satisfaction and a smooth transition
> from HTTP's pervasive IPv4 to IPv6 and from TCP to SCTP. The
> audience for this draft is application developers and content
> providers. This draft is discussed on the Applications Discuss
> mailing list,
https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/apps-discuss.
Note that its intended status is Standards Track; if it indeed goes in
that direction we'll need to figure out impact on BIS (if any).
