> "Is the current version of the document good enough to ship?"

No, it is not.

- it is not good enough for mobile developers who desperatly need a
solid platform to build their apps (and not a spec that can be leveraged
by someone somewhere to justify messing with HTTP in unforeseeable ways)

- it is not good enough for content owners (who don't want to have their
content messed with)

- it is not good enough for telcos which want to deploy transcoders
(there are no clear rules about what they should and should not do to
avoid liability when they transcode other companies' content)

The only people who CTG is good for at the moment are transcoder
vendors, who can refer to a document which is ambiguous enough that they
can read whatever they want into it and wrap their products into a
shroud of W3C legitimacy.
