I think we should be focusing on the HTTP document now. The core can
be abstracted later.

We are trying to build momentum by publishing a set of specs that can
be the basis of interop events, for instance. The core spec does not
promote this goal.

I think we should table working on the abstract core for now and make
sure that the constellation of specs around the HTTP protocol
articulate well together and provide an end-to-end solution.

Once we have the concrete work cleaned up and stabilized, we can
extract an abstract core from it.

I think working in the core at the same time that we try to get the
other pieces together has been (a) creating confusion (b) preventing
us from concentrating on a fully articulated HTTP binding document, as
evidence by the fact that one currently does not exist (c) making it
hard to figure out the boundaries between the various documents.
