I don't see how (a) using HTTP warnings would resolve the problems other people see, (b) how the use of warnings makes this proposal any better, nor (c) that warnings are actually applicable here (see <http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-httpbis-p6-cache-12.html#rfc.section.3.6>).
At the moment no any, and I want to define a new one. In spite of this there is no any registry (see below). I ask the WG for opinion on should we create it or not?

absence of IANA registry for Warning codes, such as for Status codes.
As this message is now sent to httpbis WG mailing list, I ask you if
there is a sense in creating such registry?

We might create a registry when/if when there are actually requests for new Warning values.
However no one can actually do this since there is no such registry. So I think there should be the appropriate registry. Will the WG agree with me?
