Hi Stephen,

Thanks for reviewing the document.

I think there would be value in making the cause of certificate error
explicit. Would the following change be acceptable?

OLD:

   If the certificate in the parameter is not accepted, the registrar
   MUST reject the corresponding registrations with Failure Type [IANA
   TBD] (Invalid certificate).

NEW:

   If the certificate in the parameter is not accepted, the registrar
   MUST reject the corresponding registrations with the appropriate
   Failure Type:
   [IANA TBD] (Bad certificate): The certificate is corrupt, contains
invalid signatures, etc.
   [IANA TBD] (Unsupported certificate): The certificate is of an
unsupported type.
   [IANA TBD] (Certificate expired): The certificate is no longer valid.
   [IANA TBD] (Certificate other): The certificate could not be
validated for some unspecified reason.
   [IANA TBD] (Unknown CA): The issuing CA certificate could not be
located or is not trusted.

Please let us know.

Best,

--julien
