Based on past experience, I think the risk is very high, and we don't need to 
pile any more risk onto this particular project.

HTTP's ability to be equipped with security technology has been
adequate, and I haven't heard much argument that its semantics were
the big obstacle to newer/better security.  Preserving its semantics
means its successor should be equally adequate.

Mnot is *understating* the risk of loading up the charter with this stuff. -T
