Thanks, Bill

I have opened an issue against this on github, just for tracking purposes so that
we can fix these things more easily in batches.

Anyone who has an issue with the draft is also welcome to submit the issue directly to github:

https://github.com/anima-wg/voucher/issues

The same is true for other drafts in the github, eg: BRSKI:

https://github.com/anima-wg/anima-bootstrap/issues

Cheers
