Abstract
This document defines the Transport Layer Security (TLS) Certificate
Status Version 2 Extension to allow clients to specify and support
multiple certificate status methods. Also defined is a new method
based on the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) that servers
can use to provide status information not just about the server's own
certificate, but also the status of intermediate certificates in the
chain.
I read the document. I think it adds important functionality. It is clearly
written, so I support its publication.
