Hi,

Here are some comments on the document, some reflects the conflict that Robert mentioned about being more clear that one EE ETA cert is valid at any particular time, some are typos.

Roque.

--------------------

2.1.  A Compound Trust Anchor Structure

         The ETA issues a CRL and one EE certificate.

(Roque) I believe it needs to be explained that more than one ETA EE cert may be issued during the life-time of the ETA CA however at any particular moment there is only one valid EE cert.

4.2.  RPKI Trust Anchor Object Validation

  2.  Use the public key in the EE certificate to verify the
          signature on the RTA Trust Anchor Object.

(Roque) s/EE certificate/ETA EE certificate


      *  Each time an RTA certificate is re-issued, or prior to the
         expiration of the ETA EE certificate, the ETA generates a
         Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) [RFC3852] signed-data
         object, the payload of which is an RTA certificate.

(Roque) If the ETA EE cert validity period is identical to the RTA validity period as stated in a previous bullet, the second condition ("prior to the expiration of the ETA EE certificate") would be the same as in the following section: "If a trust anchor chooses to reissue its RTA certificate before the expiration of that certificate."


5.  Relying Party use of Trust Anchor Material

      *  The ETA's CRL and CMS objects are retrieved from the
publication point referenced by the SIA in the ETA certificate.
(Roque) s/CMS objects/CMS object

  Relying Parties SHOULD perform this retrieval and validation
   operation at intervals no less frequent than the nextUpdate time of
   the published ETA CRL, and SHOULD perform the retrieval operation
prior to the expiration of the ETA EE certificate, or upon revocation
   of the ETA EE certificate.

(Roque) If the retrieval operation is for both the CRL and the CMS, I do not understand the last sentence because the RP is not aware of the revocation until it has retrieve the CRL and in at that time it already has the new CMS. So, I would:
        s/, or upon revocation of the ETA EE certificate//
