While I await WG consensus on the requirements, in Pittsburg the DPD I-D
authors observed that a DPD server need not be subject to ITSEC/Common
Criteria/whatever certification due to its untrusted role.  Suggesting that
a DPD server must perform validation seems to refute this objective.  A DPD
client certainly has every reason to expect that the information it receives
from a DPD server is well structured against the subject certificate. Any
thoughts on how we can or should balance these two?
