Probably I should have noticed this before and/or just sent a pull request,
but for the sake of discussion, here are some random thoughts.
[[ questions ]]
[ section 4 ]
* Based on RFC 5485 section 2.2, I assume that any comments in the geofeed
prior to having the CMS appended are included in the canonicalized text?
##

2001:db8:1::/48,Shire,West Farthing,Hobbiton,
2001:db8:2::/48,Shire,East Farthing,Frogmorton, # NOC is by the
stables
If the comments change, the signature changes? That seems fine to me, I
just wanted to be sure.
[[ comments ]]
[ abstract ]
* "authenticate geofeed data"
There are two things that need authenticating or verifying when it comes
to geofeeds:
[a] the source of the geofeed claims is authoritative to make said
claims for the contained prefixes, and
[b] the correctness of the claims themselves (i.e. that the location of
2001:db8::/32 really is "Shire, Middle Earth").
This document nicely addresses "a" (whereas "b" is necessarily left as an
exercise for the consumer).
The text from section 4 provides a suggestion: perhaps replace
"authenticate" with "verify the authority of", or some such formulation?
[ section 1 ]
* Probably the intro should hint at the authentication awesomeness contained
within. I think, actually, the last paragraph of section 2 can just be
relocated to the end of this section and it will flow well.
[[ nits ]]
[ section 5 ]
* s/objectss/objects/
[ section 6 ]
* "an sadly"
