Re: [Ohttp] Discovery

[Martin Thomson <[e-mail]>]

Back from a short break; I'll take the opportunity to thank folks for the constructive discussion.

I'm reading from the messages here that following DoH/ADD in ruling "discovery" topics completely off-limits was unwise and that this working group shouldn't repeat that mistake.  Put that way, the flaws in the proposed charter are just obvious.

I've tried to amend the discussion on scope to accommodate that feedback, along the lines Jason suggested.  That is, keep the discussion of how OHTTP is used entirely in-scope, but prioritize the core protocol work.

It's a small change, so here 'tis: https://github.com/unicorn-wg/ohttp-charter/pull/3

+The working group will prioritize work on the core protocol elements as
+identified.  Specific uses of this core protocol might need to describe
+discovery methods or rely on configuration.  The working group may discuss and
+document different deployment models.  The working group may publish protocol
+mechanisms that support selected deployment models.

This replaces existing text prohibiting work on discovery and would be in addition to the change I suggested earlier in response to Eliot's feedback.

Does that work for people?
