Correct me if I'm wrong: 2007-11-12 C. Daboo posted <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-daboo-webdav-mkcol-00> and announced it on <w3c-dist-auth <at> w3.org> From 2007-11-12 to 2007-12-01 four people (including the author of the draft) posted ten contributions to the discussion. There was no consensus. The latest contribution from the author dates 2007-11-19. There was no further public discussion about that draft. Exception: <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-dist-auth/2008AprJun/0011.html> refers to this draft and got no answer from the author of the draft. 2008-05-14 the draft expired. 2008-05-14, the same day, the draft was recycled (with small changes) as <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-vcarddav-webdav-mkcol-00>. The recycled draft is assigned to Vcarddav working group, though the draft claims to be *not* specific to any WebDAV-extension. The recycled draft was not announced on <w3c-dist-auth <at> w3.org> nor on <vcarddav <at> ietf.org>. There was no announcement of an intended move on <w3c-dist-auth <at> w3.org>. But obviously this move was intended (posting it with a new name at the very date when it expires). - Is this a new kind of creating open standards? - Searching for the list of least resistance? - Any relations to the employer of C. Daboo (Apple Inc.)? Cheers Werner
