In answer to David's DISCUSS:

1) This document doesn't need to update or obsolete RFC 2183, because RFC 2183 specifies Content-Disposition header field for email only. This draft is a standalone version for HTTP.

2) This document is not obsoleting/updating any other HTTPBIS WG I-D.

3) Yes, both filename and filename*  are allowed. That is intentional (for backward compatibility)

4) The editor answered this, but there was a small edit in the document to add the cross reference.

I have no objection to the publication of this document. There are a couple f small points that I think would benefit from attention first.

---

Section 2 says that BNF from RFC 2616 is used.
Section 3 metnions "ABNF". Is this the same (in which case please use
consistent terminology) or different (in which case please supply a
reference for ABNF).

(See also Peter's Discuss

Section 4.3 contains a number of bullets. The first one uses RFC 2119
language to specify behavior, but the remaining bullets use apple-pie
language. Do you need to upgrade all bullets to RFC 2119?

Why would Appendix C4 be removed at publication? I believe that it actually includes important information about the status of the implementations, and clarifies the reasons of some of the choices made by editors and the WG.

1) I agree with Stewart's DISCUSS. I found the discussion of the last segment of the filename to be confusing.

2) I agree with Stewart's concern about some additional security considerations that are not documented.

Consider adding "At the time of publication of this document, " to the front of the sentence starting with the purl.org URL at the end of Appendix D. Using a tool like purl.org helps make it easier to manage moving content around, but won't guarantee that that the content isn't a dangling reference or that it contains relative content in 20 years.

#1) Sec 4.1 contains the following phrase:

   Furthermore note that the format used for ext-value allows specifying
   a natural language;

It would greatly help to include an "natural language (e.g., <insert text here>);"

#3) Sec 8.2: Should the registration template include:

   Related information: none

#5) App D contains the following:

     [[fallbackbug: Firefox is known to
      pick the wrong parameter; a bug fix is scheduled for Firefox 5.
      --jre]]

Is this supposed to be removed?

"RFC 2616 defines the Content-Disposition response header field"

I think that you need to say the  Content-Disposition response header field of what. Same for Intro.
