Expecting the best available expertise on charset issues and string
matching in the Kerberos WG is, in my opinion, less than rational.
As chair of the WG in question, I have to agree. Though we do have a
couple of individuals who seem to have developed more expertise in that
area than is healthy. :-)
But the Kerberos WG still has to define protocol operations where strings
are compared.
Sometimes a WG needs help with issues outside their core purview, and
sometimes they won't discover that until their documents hit the IESG.
That's life.
(apologies to the Kerberos folks, who, I think, are now very much
educated on those specific issues, for using them as an example....)
None needed; I think you illustrated the point perfectly.
