That's a bold statement!  I'm surprised at the source --  I was under
the impression that the late binding of representation to resource was
a key feature of REST, and would therefore also be part of Waka?  This
isn't the place for such a discussion, but I was hoping you'd enlighten
us as to your thinking, either on your blog or here:

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/rest-discuss/message/19269

What is on-topic here, is whether eliminating conneg in HTTP 2 amounts
to a fundamental change to Web architecture, which exceeds the WG
charter?
