Hi Bret, JOSE is closed, so a new WG would have to be formed if this were to be done in a WG. That might be reopening JOSE or something else. Another possibility is for James to try to progress his existing draft and determine interest. Has it been presented at SecDispatch yet to gauge interest and uncover problems?
You could also consider alternate solutions. The problems cited were problems with XML already. Since RID defined the same capability, you could test out interoperability using RID in XML more extensively as you'd be mapping the same functionality into JSON. This would give you in your new effort feedback into design considerations and help you determine if you really want to go this route or perhaps some other solution may be preferred (see Neil's message). In any case, more work should be done before a new WG around canonicalization is performed IMO, but I am also no longer an AD, so advice from current ones may vary :-) Best, Kathleen On Thu, Oct 11, 2018 at 1:24 PM Bret Jordan <[email protected]> wrote: > Kathleen, > > From your comments I take it is okay then to do a draft proposal in > another WG and then have this mailing list review it?
