   If the issue or issuewild records indicate that I am permitted to issue the

permitted CA, I don't need to do anything with the iodef record.



   That's not correct. For example, imagine the issue indicates Symantec, but 
it requests EV only (via a Symantec-defined issuer-parameter), and you receive 
a request a DV. What do you do then?

   Symantec has not defined any additional parameters, so this question is moot 
(for me).



   Similarly, if the Forum introduces issuer-parameters regarding the use of 
3.2.2.4 validity methods, what then?

   The Forum has not defined any parameters yet, so this question is moot.



   For this simple case where there are no additional parameters and I find my 
identifier in an issue or issuewild record, I need not even view an iodef 
record.



   How do others interpret it?




   Your intent is probably to catch the error and alert the domain owner, so 
that they can fix it in case a non-authorized CA tries to issue a cert for the 
domain. While I can see the advantage of that, I'm not sure that this action 
was intended by the RFC or Gerv's ballot.

   How do others interpret it?

   Gerv, I would suggest simply removing "iodef" from "CAs MUST process the 
issue, issuewild, and iodef property tags". To me, the word "process" means to 
take some kind of action, as we must do with issue and issuewild tags. From 
what others have said, if the iodef record isn't marked critical, I can ignore 
it, and if it is marked critical, I can ignore it as long as I recognize it as 
an iodef record. I wouldn't call that "processing" the record.

   That's not quite correct. If it's marked critical, you must still understand 
how to parse the syntax, and ensure it is something you actively understand, 
even if you do not report.
