Read the archives and you will find that YOU posted the following on the
subject of CAP as part of the the error code debate.
 
  "Imprecise statement on my part and assumptions on the part of others.  My
  most recent suggestion to Lisa was "... the current RFC 2445 format 
for Response-Status
  cannot be used.".

  [and we assumed you meant REQUEST-STATUS as there is no 'RESPONSE-STATUS']

There was no unilateral change or addition to CAP even i f the the
text entered was or was not exactly what you posted.

Now you seem to be saying that it can be used. "as is".
That is fine, but please do not say there was no actual WG discussion as
you participated in that actual WG discussion. (that is just one
of several posts you made on the subject)

So what are you now saying?

Also, it is not a compatibility issue as ALL iTIP messages must be first 
processed
by a CUA and in many cases already tweaked for the CS. And yes I agree
it would be a pain, but as no CS objects exist yet, it can not be a 
compatibly
issue.

So as it has been in CAP for a while and the chairs have not called any
consensus to change it, and as it was discussed, and as it is not in
the action item list (bugzilla); I for one can not unilaterally change
it back to be the current RFC 2445 format for Request-Status.

Does anyone else care which format we use?

AND:  I have entered a bugzilla issue to move it FROM the 'new' 
properties section.
