The sth-pollination protocol defined in draft-ietf-trans-gossip-04
could work with v1 STHs, but section 8.2.4 says it contains an
array of v2 STHs:

"sths - an array of 0 or more fresh SignedTreeHeads as defined in
[RFC-6962-BIS-09] Section 3.6.1."

For this reason, I've been implementing draft-ietf-trans-gossip-00,
which uses v1 STHs and uses the URL .well-known/ct/v1/sth-pollination.

Should I be using the URL defined in -04 instead?

Incidentally, -04 is not entirely clear how STHs are represented.
RFC6962-bis no longer defines a JSON representation for STHs.  Instead
STHs are returned in JSON responses as base64-encoded SignedTreeHeads.
Does this mean that the sth-pollination protocol should use a JSON
array of strings, possibly mixed with JSON objects for v1 STHs?

Regards,
Andrew
