Re: WG LAST CALL: draft-ietf-ltans-reqs-02.txt

I seem to agree with many of Denis remarks, unfortuntely I don't have
the time to answer before Tuesday, very late for personal reasons.

So I just make one remark (a detail)
 

> Since these evidences will be provided using cryptographic means, it is 
> important to maintain the cryptographic quality of theses evidences, even if 
> the signature policy under which the signatures have been done has expired.

I seem to have a wording problem here:

IMO The evidence may be PROTECTED by cryptographic means. Not provided? 

In general, the document seems mainly to address interfaces to some backend,
and not really front end user interface, some elements being things mentioned
by denis as: 

    - a first one to demonstrate to third parties the data originally
      placed originates from a given entity,

    - a second one to demonstrate to third parties that the data was
      originally accepted for storage, at a given time, by a server
      belonging to a given long-term archive service.


Denis proposes a lot of new text, which I think should be carefully read
and combined with the current req if we agree all on that.
