I would like to add support to submitting your acct: draft as a working group document.

While WebFinger will have a normative dependency on it, it's actually independent of WebFinger and so can and should be considered separately.

Clarifying question: since the chairs have invited the authors of the WebFinger I-D to submit it as a WG item, I assume that the question "should APPSAWG take them on" does not apply to the WebFinger I-D, but only to the 'acct' URI I-D.

FWIW, I authored a separate spec for the 'acct' URI scheme because I understood from the list discussion that the 'acct' URI *could* be used by protocols other than WebFinger. If that is true, then it seems to me preferable to work on the WebFinger protocol and the 'acct' URI scheme as separate documents. If that is false, then I think they belong in the same specification. Personally I'm unclear as to whether the 'acct' URI scheme is tightly coupled to WebFinger protocol, so I think we need to figure that out first before deciding whether to proceed with two documents or one.

Peter
