…tent Signals draft-ietf-aipref-attach, the document that would bind AI usage preferences to content over HTTP, expired in April 2026 and has not been replaced. draft-ietf-aipref-vocab is still alive. The page implied both halves were converging; split them and name which one a site can act on. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

The -04 revision expired 1 May 2026, not April. Add the stronger signal: the attach text has had no edits in the WG's own drafts repository since September 2025, while vocab was being edited for publication in April. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

What changed
One paragraph in the Status of the proposal section of
content-signals, splitting the IETF work into its two halves and saying plainly which one is dead.updatedbumped to2026-07-28.Why now
The page said the IETF and IAB Tech Lab efforts were both ongoing and that "the vocabulary is converging". Half of that is no longer true:
draft-ietf-aipref-vocab— alive. Revision-06, last updated 2026-04-27, WG document on the Proposed Standard track.draft-ietf-aipref-attach— expired and archived. Last revision 2025-10-28, so it lapsed in April 2026. Nothing has replaced it, and the WG's August 2026 milestone for an attachment specification is now at risk.attachis the document that would define how a preference actually binds to content over HTTP — i.e. the thing that would putContent-Signal:inrobots.txton an IETF track. A reader following our page today would reasonably conclude that binding is standards-track. It isn't; right now it rests on the IAB Tech Lab spec and on validator convention.Status
optionalis unchanged and still the honest slot — the page already told readers not to treat this as settled. This is an accuracy fix to how it is unsettled, not a downgrade. No page is being promoted or demoted, and no site capability changes.Changelog — maintainer's call
No changelog entry included. Per
CLAUDE.mdthis sits in the borderline band: it is a real correction to what the spec says about a topic's standing, but it is one paragraph on anoptionalpage, not a substantive rewrite. Log it as achangedentry, or leave it out? Happy to add one before this leaves draft.npm run buildpasses; Prettier and the SKILL.md digest check pass via the pre-commit hook.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
