Complete and utter rubbish revisionist history. "Includes" means exactly
what it says: one piece of information in a set. Whether the verifier
considers
that most important or even a relevant piece of information is via 6.3:
"beyond the scope of this specification"
Section 6 is The section that describes what a Verifier
must perform. It says absolutely nothing about "output",
"primary" or anything else of the sort. It is purposefully
vague. If you don't like that, try to respin another PS;
trying to slip this in as an errata is an abuse of process.
