Re: Working Group Last Call: Compression Dictionary Transport

[Martin Thomson <[e-mail]>]

I'm surprised that you are running WGLC on the compression dictionary stuff rather than the zstd size draft.  That latter one is baked.  This one, less so (though Patrick has done a lot of solid work here).

The part that concerns me (and I haven't heard from anyone - other than Patrick - about it) is the Use-As-Dictionary piece.  For me, I have uncertainty about the viability of performing URL matching on every fetch.  I am also not convinced that a wide array of sites will be able to make that sort of compression operationally feasible.

Though I could be convinced otherwise, that part of this work is better suited to Experimental track than a Proposed Standard.

This is not a comment about the quality of the document.  As far as I can tell, it's complete and clear.
