I have grave concern for the less-informed individual -- coming to some addendum to JOSE (or the core specifications themselves) after the much more experienced authors, editors, and reviewers have all passed over the lack of explicit text because some parameter is obviously sensitive (or not) -- unintentionally compromising their application by exposing something that actually was sensitive. A specific column seems to me to be the best way to ensure at least consideration when defining new things for the registry. - m&m Matt Miller < [email protected] > Cisco Systems, Inc.
