Hello,
Apologies if this was previously discussed (I searched the TRANS mail archives 
and didn’t find anything relevant), but section 5 of 
draft-ietf-trans-rfc6962-bis-28 
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-trans-rfc6962-bis-28#section-5) 
describes the preferred error reporting format as a JSON object with 
“error_code” and “error_message” fields. Instead of using this bespoke error 
reporting format, I was thinking that using the JSON Problem Details format 
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7807) would be appropriate here.

Using the RFC 7807 format provides (at least) two advantages over the currently 
specified format, namely:

  *   The use of a standard format, which is already being used in other 
standards (such as ACME)
  *   The possibility to include additional metadata for error conditions, 
which may transmit sufficient machine-readable information to allow for CT 
clients to automatically recover from errors

Thanks,

Corey Bonnell
