Technical Summary

   This specification defines a mechanism for using designated HTTP
   responses as an external dictionary for future HTTP responses for
   compression schemes that support using external dictionaries (e.g.,
   Brotli (RFC 7932) and Zstandard (RFC 8878)).

Working Group Summary

   The working group consensus reached fairly broad agreement. There was some discussion of how many compression algorithms to include. Although there were diverse opinions, we converged on the approach taken in the draft. No appeal was threatened or otherwise extreme discontent indicated.

Document Quality

   Chrome has implemented on the client side, and several parties have indicated interest and/or intent to implement on the server side. There are browser-specific implementation considerations that have been coordinated with the W3C and WHATWG.

Personnel

   The Document Shepherd for this document is Mark Nottingham. The
