Re: [TSP/RFC3161] PKIFailureInfo values




Since, you seem to all agree in principle, can some of you propose a full text remplacement, providing the old and new sentence ?


"Only the following values MAY occur" is not crystal clear when bits are described.

PS. Remember that I am still awaiting an interoperability test so that we can progress the document on the Standards Track.

PKIFailueInfo contains more than one bit with value one (1) and the other not!


It seems that the text could say 'MAY only be any of the following values'.
as the list is a restriction (and extension) of the values define in CMP.


Or: 'Only the following values MAY occur'.

I could detect an invalid hash algorithm and an unsupported extension,
an unacceptable policy, and even time source not available all together.

Peter, I agree with you.
