What do people think? All the best. Tim. Hi Tim. Sorry I didn't respond to this sooner, but I don't think I fully understood what you were proposing until I saw the latest draft. Personally, I think we should leave the 1.0 identifiers wherever possible, especially if nothing has changed between 1.x and 2.0 for that identifier. For one thing, it helps people understand what existed in 1.x and what was added/changed in 2.0. For another, it makes it easier for implementations. Also, what does this say about using 1.x identifiers in a 2.0 policy? Is that legal? That's my opinion, but I don't think it's a strong opinion, so if others think we should rev all the identifiers, I'm probably ok with that. Just want to make sure there's some discussion on this point :) seth
