It would have been preferable to follow the extended attribute format [2]. This provides a standardized way of carrying data larger than a 253 bytes. However, that document has not yet been published. My question is that if there are no current implementations of the PKM specification, it may be preferable to wait until the extended attributes document is finished, and then to use that format. To which I replied: No. There _are_ implementations as I rather clearly stated at the meeting in SF, using the Experimental attribute space. To which he replied: So the implementations have to be updated to use the IANA code points, independent of them possibly using the extended attributes format. To which I reply: So it seems that what you _really_ meant was "If there are no current implementations of the PKM specification, it may be preferable to wait until the extended attributes document is finished, and then to use that format but if there are current implementations, well, screw 'em." _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
