Sirs, I oppose said proposed standard (http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-housley-tls-authz-extns-07.txt) Looking at https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1026/ : in section VI, points 2, 3 and 4 must not be accepted for a standard; point 1 is objectionable, but at least I agree to discuss it. Moreover, licenses granted for patents specified in the disclosure document from Redphone Security can be revoked later (I'm speaking about legal capabilities, not effective ones); so , in principle (and because I'm very fond of principles), I urge you to reject this proposal at once.
