I would have expected that you would have made all instances of “pledge” “Pledge” to distinguish it from the word “pledge”, meaning a promise. At the same time, I can see that you have used lowercase “pledge” and “registrar” in the [BRSKI] specification.

Is this text sufficient, or do you feel this point needs further clarification?

Ahh! Thanks for pointing it out.

If the manufacturer wishes to change the URL, or discontinue the service, then the manufacturer will need to arrange for a firmware update where appropriate changes are made.

“… where appropriate changes are made”. I would have expected a little more color to this statement, but I can understand that it would span the gamut of possible changes. As such, I am letting it go.

Cheers
