The current published Internet-Drafts, with stable links to the exact Datatracker revisions used by this site.
All four are individual submissions. Publication as an Internet-Draft does not imply IETF adoption, consensus, endorsement, or standards status.
Protocol drafts
The Collaboration Content Transfer (TCT) Protocol
Revision: -03 · Status: published Internet-Draft
Publisher-selected machine-facing representations, bidirectional discovery, deterministic JSON catalogs, and strong HTTP validators.
HTTP Profile for Conditional Updates to Shared Resource State
Revision: -02 · Status: published Internet-Draft
AST Core uses strong ETags and If-Match; the optional AST Semantic profile adds concurrency domains.
Semantic Validators for HTTP
Revision: -01 · Status: published Internet-Draft
Semantic-ETag and If-Semantic-Match for representation-independent optimistic concurrency.
Deterministic Three-Way Merge for JSON Values
Revision: -00 · Status: published Internet-Draft
Deterministic merge, ordered conflicts, typed failures, and bounded processing for a restricted JSON domain.
Reading guidance
- Use the exact revision links above; later local candidates are not presented here as published revisions.
- Read AST Core independently before the optional Semantic profile.
- Treat JSON merge as an application-independent reconciliation primitive, not an HTTP protocol.
- Implementation results are bounded engineering evidence, not proof of IETF status or general deployment suitability.
