    <h2 class="break">Current Status</h2>

    <p>
      Latest changes:
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li>
        We have picked QUERY as method name (instead of the initial proposal to use SEARCH).
      </li>
      <li>
        Cacheability is defined as similar to GET, except that the request content (payload) needs to be considered in addition to URI.
      </li>
    </ul>
    
    <h2 class="break">Open Questions</h2>

    <ul>
      <li>
        Can we assign a GETtable URI to the query result? Maybe Content-Location?
        (<a href="https://github.com/httpwg/http-extensions/issues/1745">#1745</a>).
      </li>
      <li>
        Examples: would be good to have something with a well-defined
        query language (incl. media type), and matching response format.
        (<a href="https://github.com/httpwg/http-extensions/issues/1906">#1906</a>)
      </li>
      <li>
        How do conditionals interact with QUERY?
        (<a href="https://github.com/httpwg/http-extensions/issues/1917">#1917</a>)
      </li>
