The 2012 version doesn't have any mention of a "trust broker" but one of the word documents appears to be adding that to x.509. Two comments:- 1) that doesn't strike me as "editorial," even if there's no change to an ASN.1 module. 2) I don't think adding that to x.509 without getting a lot more input from people who develop PKI code is a good plan at all. I'm not aware that such input has been sought or given. But I doubt it'll have any impact if that is added other than to make it less likely folks will make use of the x.509 document. So fwiw, count this as a "please don't, but I don't really care if you do" comment from me. (And note "me" == Stephen, not "the IETF" - if some kind of liaison about this is helpful to SG17, we can ask to see what the IETF think about it.)
