Good stuff. Still, drives me a bit nuts that we package/HTTP Signed Exchanges, Message Signatures, and web archiving all have very similar but different versions of the same thing.

Webpackage has a lot of stuff that seems super cool to me. Alas it seemed mainly to be a small handful of engineers & most seemed to have moved on from the effort. https://github.com/WICG/webpackage/issues/713

Given the frosty response in the comments they got I guess I'm not shocked, but in general it feels like web standards could use better long term care, that they often don't get, alas.



This was finalized and published as an RFC 9421. Is there any reason in particular you link to a draft version?
