Re: Last Call: <draft-sahib-451-new-protocol-elements-01.txt> (New protocol elements for HTTP Status Code 451) to Informational RFC

>From an HTTP pov: new response headers, such as the proposed
geo-scope-block, would really benefit from a more rigorous syntax than is
provided here..  see: sections 2 and 3 of https://httpwg.org/http-
extensions/draft-ietf-httpbis-variants.html#variants for how a current wg
draft does it. Also, its composition of a list of country codes should
probably be a MUST as Tim hints.

Tim's concerns resonate with me as questions a WG really should debate and
reach rough consensus on rather than this being an AD sponsored doc
(especially as its a defacto update of a standards track document by an
informational one). I'm not sure which WG - httpbis did not have a critical
mass of interest in this in the past.
