Areas of W3C/IETF overlap
HTTP
High transport impact
HTTP/1.1 worked fairly well
Radical redesign difficult
HTML
High user interface impact
IETF WG shut down with little result
UI vendors core enablers
URIs
Really basic technology
Has spread far outside HTTP
Consensus and knowledge key enablers
Distr. Authoring
New effort
High stakes, high speed
Print, fax, management
Using Webstuff as tool
Sometimes hardly appropriate
Not quite started yet
Not listed, because it's probably fairly obvious:
IETF
Security, real-time multimedia, lower layer transport
W3C
PICS, Demographics
Others
VRML, SGML
