One of the highlights from WWW'94 was the roadmap for HTML
which nailed down some common terminology for specific browser
capabilities:
HTML 1.0 Original RFC
HTML 2.0 Current practice as of 5/94 to
be specified and endorsed by IETF
standard by end of 1994.(?)
HTML 3.0 Place holder for HTML+ features and
various proposed new elements.
I wonder if a similar roadmap exists for changes in the
HTTP protocol :
HTTP 0.9 in the beginning
HTTP 1.0 Original RFC (?)
HTTP 1.1 Proxy/cache extensions If-modified-since,
Pragma no-cache (Pragma keep-connection?)
HTTP 1.2 MGET and multipart MIME responses
HTTP 2.0 Sessions?
It would be good to have a list of proposed changes in the protocol and
a rough idea of the timeframe and process for introducing these changes
into the mainstream. I haven't visted the W3O pages recently, but that
is probably the right place for tracking this type of information.
