Hello folks,

It seems that I need to close the loop, since the independent
submission process doesn't feed back here (unlike an open WG).

After a large number of constructive last call comments and
a draft 08 to address them

 http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-gregorio-uritemplate-08.txt

the spec has been approved by the IESG as a Proposed Standard.
Now we just have to wait for the RFC Editor queue to get final
wording edits and publish it.

A diff from 07 is at

 http://uri-templates.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/spec/draft-gregorio-uritemplate-08-from-7.diff.html

Note that the one substantive change is the processing of
{;list*}, {?list*}, and {&list*} to allow for repeated
parameters with the same name, based on an earlier discussion
here.  Happy implementing.

Cheers,

Roy T. Fielding                     <http://roy.gbiv.com/>
