Henry,
But knowing that they exist has always been important to IETF practice.
There are a zillion pre-standards efforts on the Internet; we don't need to
discuss them all in a WG that is about DANE.
But this working group was about DANE, the project that has finished. You now
want to essentially continue with the momentum to propose a standard which is
only tangentially related to why people formed the DANE group.
DANE is seen as a basis for using public key info published via the DNS
to bind public keys
to DNS names, as discussed at the BoF that preceded the formation of
this WG. The WG was chartered to deal with TLS first, to provide focus.
The intent is to allow the WG to use the same basic mechanism to provide
public keys to other security protocols. So, your statement above, is
not correct, both in terms of stating that the project is finished, and
in terms of why the WG was formed.
I don't recall seeing you at that BoF; were you present?
Steve
