For what it's worth, I continue to believe that Bernard may have a point
and that we need to engage with the apps community to resolve the
question of normalization.

I'm not particularly worried about the HTTP/SIP/etc points Bernard
raises.  I think that there is some semantic ambiguity there, and I'm
not against improvements in the text, but I don't see that as a blocking
concern.  I think that the ambiguity is unlikely to result in problems
in practice that do not already exist.
