I just read draft-ietf-http-versions-00.txt, and want to express my
support for this document.  It is well written, and corresponds
completely to my own notion of what we intended to define in the
HTTP/1.1 spec.

On a higher level, I think that the interpretation of version numbers
in the HTTP status line, as defined in the 1.1 spec and as explained
in the above draft, is a sensible one.  It should not be changed.

I do not want to rule out that future developments will show that it
would be a good thing to have version numbers with some different
interpretation in HTTP responses.  If this is the case, a new HTTP
header which contains these different version numbers should be
defined.

Koen.
