The relevant information needed during distribution would seem to vary based on the security model (as evidenced by this thread). Actually, that’s been one of the main points of this thread. >> , so necessarily coupling the RRs doesn’t seem to make sense. > > It has so far in the WG.

I feel like I must be missing some nuanced distinction you have in mind between working group discussions (like this one) and some other arbitration? >> In addition, to echo what others have already said on the list, I really >> don’t think it is reasonable to gate updates to the SMIMEA proposal on >> updating TLSA. > > Fully agree, and that's not what I was proposing.

I saw merit in them and when they seemed to be dismissed out of hand I voiced my support.

I think this thread is devolving. The number is greater than two, and reviewing the posts of this thread should corroborate the higher level of interest. >> Also, isn’t the SMIMEA work still an evolving draft? > > Yes, of course. > >> What else does one need besides: articulated rationale, proposed >> requirements, operational data, suggested text, and running code from >> multiple people in order to support suggested revisions? > > Consensus in the WG.
