Subject: The trusted issuer
All, I propose that we drop the explicit identifiers for the trusted issuer in the delegation draft. (Section 5.4 in the delegation profile working draft 17.) The reason for introducing the explicit trusted issuer was that someone in some discussion was concerned that it is easy to make a mistake by forgetting to include the issuer. But for reasons of backwards compatibility we want a policy without an issuer to be considered trusted anyway. With this, I don't see much point in having the explicit trusted issuer in there. It just makes things more complex. Both for the spec and for code which has to deal with more special cases. Regards, Erik
