[hybi] Closing the hybi working group

[Barry Leiba <[e-mail]>]

It's vey clear that HyBi is no longer a working group, and hasn't been
for some time.  Takeshi last updated the compression doc in May, and
there were no responses.  In general, I have seen no discussion at all
about the document -- no messages other than from Takeshi, except for
a good review by Joakim Erdfelt in October, and a discussion a year
ago June, though there continue to be regular updates to the document
-- nine versions since that June 2013 set of messages.

So, again: HyBi is no longer a working group -- there are no participants.  And
the compression doc is not a working group document, it's Takeshi's
alone, as far as I can tell.  No one seems to be clamouring for this,
no one seems eager to implement it.  And there's no way we can really
say that there's a meaningful version of working group consensus
behind what's there now.

I intend to close the HyBi working group and abandon the compression
document.  I intend to do this on 24 Oct.  If anyone would like to
discuss this before it happens, feel free to do that in response to
this message.
