Working Group Summary
There was consensus to publish this within the WG. One person
raised two last call comments in IETF last call. The first issue
concerned how to handle signatures from different signers. This
issue was addressed. The second issue proposed expanding the scope
of the document to give more guidance on verifying signatures.
This was discussed by the WG before the document was forwarded;
there was no consensus to expand the scope in this way.
