Jacob commented on Errata 4988 which I fixed (I hope) in 4992.

 

At this point, given that this is an errata and given that we are looking to 
replace the search in the next iteration, I prefer not to change the way the 
algorithm is described as that may well introduce a whole new round of 
confusion.

It looks like there has been some unaddressed feedback submitted by Jacob 
Hoffman-Andrews regarding the correctness of that Errata. Has that been 
resolved now? I haven't seen any acknowledgement from you on it.

Implementation of CAA turned up an issue to do with the recursive treatment of 
pointer records. An errata has been proposed to fix the specification to 
achieve the processing agreed to be desirable:

https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?eid=4992

I would like to propose a motion to fix this issue so that implementations use 
the search specified in the errata rather than the original text.

We are separately working in IETF to revise the search procedure to make use of 
prefixed records which elides the whole issue which we could not do when CAA 
was first proposed but can now. Unfortunately, that work is blocked on the WG 
finishing its current internationalization work.

Here is a rough draft of the proposed motion. Comments?

 

Change the following in section 3.2.2.8 of the Baseline Requirements:

1) Replace the sentence:

"CAs MUST process the issue, issuewild, and iodef property tags as specified in 
RFC 6844, although they are not required to act on the contents of the iodef 
property tag."

With

"CAs MUST process the issue, issuewild, and iodef property tags as specified in 
RFC 6844 as amended by Errata 4992, although they are not required to act on 
the contents of the iodef property tag."
