These certainly aren't necessary, but I think they add clarity, so I
support adding the sentence in each place (after fixing the grammar).
While we're at it, we should change "sub-domain" in that 2.6 paragraph
to "subdomain", to be consistent with usage in the rest of the
document (the only place "sub-domain" is used is in the ABNF, where it
has to be).
Barry, as participant
Yes, I had pointed out either text or a reference to 3.6.1.
This document is filled with scattered information and section 3.5
will be used a quick reference summary of the tags.
So I think "i=" should have this important "t=s" policy record
exception highlighted some way. They need to know if their
implementations allows for the subdomain form to be inputted, that the
public key management needs to "tied" to it.
So if my software has:
Signer: ____________________
Selector: ____________________
Optional Agent or User Identity: _____________
when they press SAVE, I have to decide what to do, like Popop Warning box:
Warning, the Public Key for this signer/selector must has
a "t=s" tag
Continue to Save: Yes | No
