SUMMARY of nonces in OCSP



All,

Towards consensus on a path forward, here's where we are with
the poll and recent discussions:

1.  Nonces break caching.  No news there.

2.  Of the eleven responding implementors to the poll regarding
normative language in 2560 on the use of nonces, nine are not
broken by the proposed language while two rely on a caching.

3.  We need to define an error value specific to a responder's
inability to accept a nonce.

4.  Closely related to #3, we need some means of signalling
between a requestor and a responder in order for the requestor
to determine if use of a nonce would be accepted.

Anyone disagree?

Below is the specific list of respondents to poll.  Did I miss
anybody?
