Building Blocks for HTTP APIs (httpapi) - (ietf.org) <https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/httpapi/about/> 

Might be a more evolutionary approach.

Perhaps an update to BCP 56 (RFC 3205) might be in order.

RFC 2324 

   HTTP 1.1 ([RFC2068 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068> ]) permits the transfer of web objects from origin

   servers to clients. The web is world-wide.  HTCPCP is based on HTTP.

   This is because HTTP is everywhere. It could not be so pervasive

   without being good. Therefore, HTTP is good. If you want good coffee,

   HTCPCP needs to be good. To make HTCPCP good, it is good to base

   HTCPCP on HTTP.
