Speaking from an implementer's point of view (mine) removal of "Attribute:" has made parsing of header key/values easier. Personally, I have no strong tie to either approach.
I would beg to differ on that point :) I am also an implementor and using the Attribute header I can just reuse the same base functionality as for parsing Category and Link headers. Since RFC2616 says multiple header values can be represented both as comma-separated lists and multiple header lines the code for parsing this with proper escaping of quotes etc will have to be present anyway. regards, Ralf
