Comment (by eranm@…):

 Corollary:
 - SCTs *are* defined as TransItems of type x509_sct_v2 or precert_sct_v2.
 - This is a non-trivial change to the data structures, which may require a
 stronger justification than the one we currently have (at least two
 structures I've identified, and signature scheme may change).
 - Other fields may have to move into the SignedCertificateTimestampDataV2
 to contain all the necessary information to be passed around without the
 TransItem (see previous point).
 - This would undo the work to unify several "type" indicators in 6962 into
 a single one in -bis.

 Overall I agree with the sentiment that some data structures in 6962-bis
 need to be renamed to clarify what role they play.
