16.2.2 status code(s) #1028

Closed reschke closed 2 years ago

reschke commented 2 years ago
<!-- [rfced] Section 16.2.2.  Does making "status code" singular in
     the following sentence improve readability?

Current:
   Note that all final status codes can be cached if the response 
   they occur in has explicit freshness information; however, 
   those status codes that are defined as being heuristically 
   cacheable are allowed to be cached without explicit freshness 
   information.  

Perhaps:
   Note that a final status code can be cached if the response in 
   which it occurs has explicit freshness information; however, 
   a status code defined as heuristically cacheable is allowed to 
   be cached without explicit freshness information.

Fine by me.

How about

   Note that any response with a final status code can be cached
   if the response has explicit freshness information.
   A status code defined as heuristically cacheable is allowed to 
   be cached without explicit freshness information.

That's better.
