Comment:

The use of MUST on the CTG when referring to the role of the server
should not be allow, since irresponsible transcoding companies will use this to disrupt service and destroy the user experience set us back many years.
We can accept RECOMMENDED, and only RECOMMENDED.

WG Notes: See: http://www.w3.org/2008/09/16-bpwg-minutes#item01 Final resolution: - re. LC-2007, remove "Content Deployment" class of product and move section 4.2 Server Response to Proxy to an informative section. No more normative guidelines on Content Providers.

Resolution: We agree and have removed the "Content Deployment" class of product. All normative statements that previously applied to content deployments are now listed in an "Informative Guidance for Origin Servers" non-normative appendix at the end of the document. The updated definition of classes of product is available at: http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-ct-guidelines-20091006/Overview.html#sec-classes-of-product The non-normative appendix for origin servers is available at: http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-ct-guidelines-20091006/Overview.html#d2e1536
