Re: Straw Poll: Restore Header Table and Static Table Indices

[Mark Nottingham <[e-mail]>]

There doesn't seem to be support for making a change here; most people were against any change, and while there were a few other proposals made, they didn't get broad support. Since this isn't a security or interop issue, I'm inclined to close as WONTFIX.

Does anybody have new information here, or can we move on?

Cheers,
