Hi Andrew,

My initial thoughts are that a "reason" field with a URN denoting the
rationale for the specified renewal information (pending revocation,
expiration, etc.) would be useful. Each reason could then have specific
fields, such as "anticipatedRevocationDateTime" for the revocation case, or
even the anticipated RFC5280 revocation reason code.

The "explanationURL" could also be moved to this structure as opposed to
being a top-level field, as it is metadata-only.

Even if only a few fields are defined within this metadata-only
sub-structure, I think there's value in putting all metadata-only
information within this sub-structure to avoid polluting the top-level
namespace if additional fields are needed in the future.

Thanks,
Corey

It is the latter - to provide richer metadata about why the window is what
it is.  ACME client behavior would not be affected.

That could potentially be useful.  Do you have any other information in mind
that would be included?
