Re: [apps-discuss] Accept-Post HTTP header field

[Graham Klyne <[e-mail]>]

Eric,

If the W3C spec is published on REC track, that would be sufficient to allow 
permanent registration in the header field registry (W3C being a "recognized 
standards organization" for this purpose).  Until it gets to REC track 
publication, I'd suggest going for an interim provisional registration.

Assuming this is a REC track specification, my suggestion would be, rather than 
going the RFC publication route, to include the registration template in an IANA 
consideration section in the W3C spec, and cite that in a request to IANA when 
the document is W3C-approved for CR/PR/REC publication. Also, notify the IANA 
header field discussion list (and maybe IETF apps-discuss) when the document 
goes to last call at the W3C.
