Can you explain to me why the discovery via /.well-known/brski is useful?
This is on the *REGISTRAR*.

In reading BRSKI-AE, I seem to be missing any place where the PUSH mechanism
is described.  In a PUSH use case, what protocol would the pledge expose to
the pledge-agent and/or commissioner?
As far as I can tell, in the PULL case, when CMP (or another mechanism) will
be used, there is still a voucher exchange first.  The Registrar can express
it's preference in the (parboiled) voucher-request from Registrar to MASA.

The MASA, if the pledge supports the desired enrollment protocol, could
include the hint.  In fact, the MASA could include an entire URL with
meta-data about the protocol to use.

This would jive very nicely with the brski-cloud mechanism!!!

I don't understand this at all.  What do you mean, overload the pledge?
Are you talking about network or code space or what?

yes, but that's a cosmetic issue.
it appeals to humans, but it makes no technical difference.
Nevertheless, if we can do this quickly, then let's do it.
I've provided proposed text in the form of a diff, the ADs have agreed to a
process, the chairs , just need to run it.

I hope that your(Siemens) Thomas Werner will comment.
