WG, >From the perspective of a user or a profile specification allowing the use of X509 and C509 in, for example, COSE messages has there been any discussion about terminology in the sense of the following:
Is it expected that the term "PKIX" will exclusively refer to X.509 as defined in RFC 5280? Or will PKIX be an umbrella term to include C509 as an equivalent encoding of the same information model? Possibly "public key certificate" is a better general purpose term, though a little more narrow in scope (a single credential) than what PKIX would imply (the whole PKI). Any thoughts about this?
