This is unfortunate, because there's an opportunity here to specify an extensible extension that could later be refined to support reuse at negligible cost to the "complexity" of the specification, indeed all the server has to do is issue at least one ticket like it always did, unless both counters are zero. I've agreed to defer actual consideration of reuse to a separate draft, but this preëmptively shuts the door on getting that done, without requiring a second largely redundant extension that would have to modify the meaning of {0,1} to make the "1" be "as needed". Now server that (hypothetically) are willing to support reuse will have to consider the interplay of two separate related extensions, which is definitely more complex. Declining this comes across hostile to me. I read the objections to "only {0, 0} means zero" as a blocking counter-measure against the deferred discussion, and not a material objection on the merits. :-( -- Viktor. _______________________________________________ TLS mailing list TLS@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tls
