Good questions. They are closer cousins than the offline use cases. My follow up questions would be: a) Is there the same perceived need to document the "state of interop" for these uses of PKIX as there is for HTTPS? b) Are the right experts and stakeholders here and interested in tackling any/some/all of these as part of this proposed WG? c) Will those people commit to edit and contribute to the relevant deliverables? d) Does that work depend on or build directly from the HTTPS work, or are there other WGs where it can be undertaken on its own timeline and where the "right people" are already assembled? -Brad > -----Original Message----- > From: Peter Saint-Andre [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2012 6:05 PM > To: Hill, Brad > Cc: Moudrick M.
