Hi Christian,

Just on this point:

How do you know that a specific URL is a rollback? It looks easy when the example say "revision1" and "revision2", but I am sure there are cases where you cannot tell by just looking at the URL. You may be able to download the "old" and "new" URL, and check the date of the signature. But then, please describe the process so implementers are not confused.

The MUD manager should keep a history of bindings between devices and MUD-URLs.  That's obviously only as secure as the binding of that URL to the device (I would also note that that is improving day-by-day).

I am not entirely convinced. This looks like keeping logs, keeping them online, and accessing them in real-time. That can be challenging in many environments. I would prefer that the draft be updated to present the "play old URL back" issue, and then that this log-based rule be proposed as one of the possible solutions. If I was implementing this, I would probably prefer some kind of real-time mitigation.
