Just a heads-up for folks in this group, the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Bis
(httpbis) working group is currently in the process of standardising HTTP
header compression using, unfortunately, techniques that were state-of-the-
art in about 1975.  It seems like they're in desperate need of people with
knowledge of data compression technology to help them out.  The spec for this
is draft-ietf-httpbis-header-compression-07,
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-header-compression-07, the
discussion list is at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/.

Peter.
