You may review the report below and at:

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Rob Stradling <[email protected]>

Section: 8

Original Text
-------------
A challenge object with an error MUST have status
equal to "invalid".

Corrected Text
--------------
A challenge object with an error MUST have status
equal to "processing" or "invalid".

Notes
-----
Section 8.2 says that 'The server MUST add an entry to the "error" field in the 
challenge after each failed validation query'.  However, if the challenge must 
then become "invalid", it is never possible to retry any validation query 
(because "invalid" is a final state for a challenge object).
This erratum is necessary to permit validation query retries to ever happen.

Instructions:
-------------
This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party  
can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary.
