Colleagues.  There is a question over whether the results of Adam Langley's 
work on anomalous bahaviour in common TLS stack implementations is in or out of 
scope for the WPKOPS activity, and whether the draft charter properly reflects 
the answer to that question.  There have been no objections that I am aware of 
to including the work.  It merely remains to ensure that the charter makes it 
clear.

I propose adding the following statement to the list of example problems:

"Finally, varying interpretations of the protocol specifications and 
implementation errors result in interoperability failures and introduce 
security vulnerabilities in the TLS stack."

Do people think this is sufficient, or is a more radical rewrite called for in 
which the emphasis is on TLS and its supporting infrastructure?

All the best.  Tim.
