Sorry, I hope that others reading my message understood it better. By "this problem" I meant the bit just before what you quoted: "data that differs depending on the collection method". A few examples would be IDNs collected from DNS responses vs. user input, MIME headers that get "fixed" in various transports, IP addresses that differ depending on which side of the NAT you collect them, and so on. --Paul Hoffman, Director --VPN Consortium _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
