[webfinger] FW: [apps-discuss] I-D Action: draft-ietf-appsawg-webfinger-08.txt

Folks,

I just posted a revised version of the WebFinger text.  Highlights include:
 * Change all queries to require HTTPS only
 * Forbid server redirection to HTTP URIs
 * Merged the "Introduction" and "Overview" sections
 * Moved some references to the informative references section
 * Removed instructions for the server to return specific
   status codes (Tim successfully argued it was not needed)
    * Retained one statement, though, in section 4.2 that
      requires a server to return a 400.  However, the 
      text was changed to refer to behavior in RFC 2616.
      Same end result, though.
 * Moved section the "rel" parameter section before the
   JRD section.
 * Made edits to the JRD section as discussed on the list
 * Various editorial changes

Please have a look at this text and suggest any changes we should make.

Paul
