Re: [httpstreaming] Current Status and Our Goal

[Wenbo Zhu <[e-mail]>]

Thanks for putting all these together, and I definitely see the value in
standardizing media streaming semantics on top of HTTP.

A few meta-comments related to the subject of "HTTP streaming"
1. focus on HTTP and exclude any ambiguity that a different transport may be
considered;
2. make it clear that this work is agnostic to emerging Web protocols/specs
that are fundamentally browser-oriented;
3. avoid any attempt to extend the basic HTTP semantics (e.g. in conflict
with httpbis)
