Description

In many algorithms we are referring to the Protocol Bindings specs.
From an algorithm we need to point to exact steps or algorithms from another spec.
If the referred spec doesn't have that, we need to figure that out at least for the HTTP protocol binding and include the steps in the relevant places.
After the Protocol Bindings are updated, we can later refer to algorithms there.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the algorithms that refer generically to the Protocol Bindings specifications, then compare them with the HTTP protocol binding. Done means each reference points to exact steps or algorithms, with missing HTTP steps included where the binding does not define them.
