I think the working group has to agree that it's a "work item" before it becomes a working group submission. And there's a lot of resistance to getting HTTP-WG to do new things when they still have unfinished old business. So, I suggest making it an individual submission. If you're really just doing conventions for URL syntax, it might not even belong in HTTP; a separate smaller "working group" would be called for, then. Worry about content, not structure. Larry
