{In some ways this should be a discussion among the authors of which I am now
one, but I feel that the discussion belongs in public}

1) discovery.

Section 4.1 provides for the process to start with a discovery operation.

   The presence and location of (path to) the management data are
   discovered by sending a GET request to "/.well-known/core" including
   a resource type (RT) parameter with the value "ace.est" [RFC6690].
   Upon success, the return payload will contain the root resource of
   the EST resources.  It is up to the implementation to choose its root
   resource; throughout this document the example root resource /est is
   used.  The example below shows the discovery of the presence and
   location of management data.

     REQ: GET /.well-known/core?rt=ace.est

I can see the architectural reasons for why we do that, but I really have to
ask why if we really really need this extra round trip.

The alternative is that we either have to use /.well-known/est, or that
we wind up standardizing something (maybe /e) that isn't inside /.well-known.

Can DTLS compression do better things for us instead?


2) DTLS and HelloVerifyRequest.

SHOULD CoAP-EST servers always perform the HelloVerifyRequest state?
Again, it's an extra round trip.
Always doing it would simplify the code paths on both ends.
