I still believe that addressing the issue below would be useful, but I have moved to abstain
in order that something might get published.  Here's the original DISCUSS text:

In 5.2.2, the document says:

  We anticipate that the IMG QUERY-RESOLVE
  operation will be a trivial usage of HTTP, although other transport
  protocol options may be beneficial to consider too.


This seems contrary to what is said in 5.1.1, where the analysis
notes that ANNOUNCE and VERIFY won't work in an HTTP-only
environment, and so HTTP is not sufficient for a unicast deployment.
If the IMG system is going to use multiple protocols (e.g. HTTP for
unicast Query-Resolve, SIP Notify for announce), then there will
be a reasonable amount of complexity in determining what to do when the
different protocols give answers.  I'm also surprised, given that
Henning is one of the authors, that the document would believe
"layered onto HTTP" meant simple; I'd have thought XCAP would
have beaten that notion out of him.
