You are, of course, correct. The source of my confusion was that IMPP,
before it was turned into a WG, was working on protocol and the protocol
that was being talked about the most was based on HTTP over UDP. However
when it was made into a WG the IESG (this is for everyone's FYI, obviously
not yours Mark) scaled back its charter to just provide for a requirements
document. Therefore IMPP clearly can't now be working on a HTTP over UDP
protocol as IMPP isn't chartered to do protocol work. Furthermore IMPP has
not decided on what protocol it will eventually adopt.
