Hi Alexey,

I was taking a look at wrt draft-ietf-uta-email-tls-certs and noted that
it says this in Section 3..

   [...]
                                       Matching is performed according
   to the rules specified in Section 6 of [RFC6125], including the
   relative order of matching of different identifier types,
   "certificate pinning" and the procedure on failure to match.  The
   following inputs are used by the verification procedure used in
   [RFC6125]:

   [...]

   The rules and guidelines defined in [RFC6125] apply to an email
   server certificate, with the following supplemental rules:

   [...various supplemental rules to add to those defined in RFC6125.. ]


..thus I am curious as to why draft-ietf-uta-email-tls-certs does not
officially update RFC6125 -- should it not (in addition to updating four
other RFCs as it notes) ?

"Supplemental rules" are inputs to RFC 6125 procedure (such as use of
wildcards, use of CN-ID, etc.). I don't think the document updates RFC
6125. If you think something better than "supplemental rules" should be
used in this context, please let me know.

Best Regards,
Alexey
