Kathleen -
I'm sorry if I missed an earlier  explanation about why this is important, but 
could you explain why the emphasis on different reason codes for revocation and 
the requirement to not include a reason code if the revocation doesn't fall 
into one of the stated reasons.

Are you trying to get CAs to eventually use CRLs segmented by the different 
reason codes? Do you expect RP applications to treat certificate validation 
differently based on the reason code?  Do you expect RP applications to 
potentially make the reason code available to end user so they can choose to 
continue trusting a revoked certificate if they don't care about the reason?  
Is it just for trust store programs to gather statistics about why certificates 
get revoked?

I would expect the RP application to treat all revoked certificates the same 
regardless of the reason for the revocation, so I don't fully understand why 
this new policy is being developed.

Thanks,
   wendy
