#126: text leaves open the possibility that a submitter might not verify the
returned SCT

 > Cases where a submitter may not need to verify the returned SCT is when
 it's submitting certificates for the purpose of making them known
 publicly. This is clearly covered by the current text.

 Sorry, I must have missed the discussion of that case. Could you point me
 to the text that talks about that case?

 > David, was there a particular case in mind where the standard should
 specify a submitter ought NOT to verify the returned SCT?

 No, I think verification is great. I just think that this "SHOULD" should
 be accompanied by an explanation of the consequences of not performing the
 verification. That way implementors will be able to make an informed
 decision whether or not to verify an SCT in a particular case. Or, if
 there's no case in which verification should be skipped, then the "SHOULD"
 should be a "MUST".
