I'll just hold off for the time being until it's published. That way it's sort of "official". > Only Cipher Suite 17 in the mentioned combination (3/4/1) is mentioned > in the latest review copy of DCMI 1.1, that's why I skipped the other > combinations.

That is interesting. I just assumed there would be a cipher suite 15 and 16. Given the length of time between erratas, it may take time to find out.
