Standard and Messages- Spec organization unnecessarily complex

[Michael Jones]

Yaron Goland believes that Standard and Messages should be combined into a single spec to eliminate duplication and make the combination easier to read by developers.

Agreed -- We have a strong binding to HTTP already via the use of OAuth, the abstraction at this layer is ridiculous.

[Nat Sakimura]

We expect XMPP and Custom schema binding is in progress. In IETF 82 Taipei OAuth meeting, separating OAuth core into abstract and binding was also proposed so that it allows IMAP binding (by Apple.)

We will make sure that Message has no dependency on HTTP, which we believe so eve now.
