Eric,

In regards to the expiration tag x=, until a decision is made about its
fate, it is still part of the specs.  In such a case, to comply with the x=
current specs,  a preliminary step is missing in section 6.2:

| 6.2  Get the Public Key

|  ...

+   0.  If signature has an expiration (x=) tag, check if the signature

+       current time at the verifier is past the expiration date.

|   1.  Retrieve the public key as described in (Section 3.6) using the
|       domain from the "d=" tag and the selector from the "s=" tag.
