 A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
 directories.                                                              

       Title     : User-Agent Display Attributes

User-Agent Display Attributes Headers provide a means for an HTTP client 
[3] and server to negotiate for content dependent on the client display 
capabilities.  This memo describes the syntax for introducing this 
information into an HTTP transmission.  The intent is to present resource 
variants when available [5] such that a capable server may present 
documents in a preferred form to a client.  If such a preferred form is not
available, the server should still provide the requested documents.   

This specification is intended as an extension to HTTP/1.1 [4], 
to be implemented using a content negotiation method such as 
transparent content negotiation [5].

Internet-Drafts are also available by mail.
                                                     
Send a message to:  mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-mutz-http-attributes-01.txt".
                                   
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
      MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
      feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
      command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
      a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
      exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
      "multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
      up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
      how to manipulate these messages.
                                   
For questions, please mail to Internet-Drafts@ietf.org
                                   

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
