Peter,

1.  I had an email problem so probably missed the discussion, however I do not 
understand the current text for the example of a delegated domain.  I would 
suggest text, but as I am running on I don't understand that is not possible.  
Is this supposed to be some type of mapping that says the domain X is really 
the domain Y?

2.   In the definition of reference identifier s/optionally/optionally/

3.   In section 2.1 you have the sentence "This dimension matters most for 
certificate verification."  Would this be more appropriate as 
s/verification/consumption/ ?  The process of certificate verification does not 
really care, but the name matching does.

4.  In the definitions you might want to add one for "automated client" to 
match "interactive client"

5.  On page 20, the following text exists:
For an interactive client, it is strongly encouraged that each
   reference identifier SHOULD be based on the source domain provided by
   the user and SHOULD NOT be based on a derived domain (e.g., a host
   name or domain name discovered through DNS resolution of the source
   domain).

I am not clear why this is important for interactive clients and not for 
automated clients.

6.  In section 4.6.2 - I am disappointed that the concept of checking that the 
context is either the same or similar is not also included in this check.  I 
think this is an important concept.


Jim
