protocol draft "little" issues




Folks,

The protocol draft contains the list of "minor" open issues 
below, that I'd like to get sorted.

If you have a suggestion/problem/wanna-chat about any of the 
suggested resolutions can you start a thread on the list over 
the next week or so? (Expressing your agreement is also fine,
since silence!=concensus:-)

   - If a server only supports up/down-load, then is SRP alone
     sufficient or MUST the server also support cTLS? (The latter
     according to the current text.)

          [cTLS is only a MUST for those that implement account
          management stuff.]

   - Meaning of empty string for credential selector?

          ["" means "all credentials", same as if the selector
          field is omitted entirely]

   - Does section 2.4 need changes?

          [this will be deleted as per list discussion, some
          "anti-DoS" text will be added to sec cons.]

   - Should we apply for a port number? (probably)

          [no.]

   - Should we define a URI scheme? (probably not)

          [no.]

   - Should the DTD or schema be normative? I'd usually go for the
     schema, but in this case the DTD seems much simpler.

          [since its much simpler let's make the DTD normative but
          keep the schema correct & up to date]

Ta,
Stephen.
