Re: Last Call: <draft-ietf-httpbis-authscheme-registrations-08.txt>(Initial Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) AuthenticationScheme Registrations) to Informational RFC

[t.p. <[e-mail]>]

I see that we have been granted a fortnight to review eight,
inter-related, httpbis I-Ds, comprising over 300 pages, ending in the
course of IETF88 and in the run-up to a meeting when everyone comes out
of aestivation and the mailing lists are inundated.

Seems like a DoS attack to me.
