Unfortunately the HTTP/1.1 definition of transparent is not what
the term has come to describe. Should the community attempt to choose a
new term (and influence the industry to use it)? Can the HTTP/1.1 term
be renamed? Should WREC document the different use of the term in
today's caching industry? (My preference is the last one, since I do
not believe we can modify common usage, nor can we change the existing
spec overnight.) Other input? Thank you,

PS.
Henrik, Ingrid, Ian -- I've not heard from you yet on the Known
Problems draft. I'm hoping more of the leaders in the caching industry
will speak up about current problems, particularly regarding operation
of cache meshes. Ingrid (and others) have presented some interesting
work on ICP (3rd WCW) that I'd like to see in there ... but I am only a
lowly editor ;-) Think about it, drop me a line if you have a minute!
