Hi Joe, Hi draft authors,

I reviewed draft-ietf-tls-subcerts-09 and the document is well written and easy 
to understand.

I have only a minor remark regarding the validity time of the delegated 
credential.

In Section 3 you say
"
   In
   the absence of an application profile standard specifying otherwise,
   the maximum validity period is set to 7 days.  Peers MUST NOT issue
   credentials with a validity period longer than the maximum validity
   period.
"

In Section 4 you say the following about the validity time. "This MUST NOT 
exceed 7 days."

I wonder whether it makes sense to just copy the text from Section 3 to Section 
4 have it read the same way.
Having the flexibility to extend this maximum validity time via profiles may 
turn out to be useful, as Section 3 already states.

The use of a new X.509 extension is unfortunate because tools used for creating 
certificates are somewhat behind supporting various extensions.
We ran into this issue for use with device certificates in IoT deployments.

I guess there is nothing to do about this other than trying to add support of 
this extension in popular tools.
Any plans to add support for this extension to the OpenSSL command line tool to 
create certificates?

Ciao
Hannes
