RE: HTTP Link Use cases

Hi Phil

Thanks for the gentle reminder of the need for action. ISSUE-238 and
ACTION-703 both have a direct relevance to this, and both are
essentially down to me to chase. I hadn't forgotten our call, or either
of these actions, it's just that I have been running around like a
headless chicken since the Seoul F2F and have only just managed to get
my head back above water (if that is not too grotesque a mixed
metaphor).

There will definitely be input from BP on this, but there are definitely
only 24 hours in each day.

Jo
