[auth48] Re: AUTH48: RFC-to-be 9973 <draft-ietf-tls-8773bis-13> for your review

[Russ Housley <[e-mail]>]

Alanna:

Errata 8888 was just reported.  It has already been resolved in the body of the document, but I would like to document that is has been resolved in Appendix A.

OLD:

   *  Correct the order of the arguments to HKDF-Extract when an
      external PSK is present.

NEW:

   *  Correct the order of the arguments to HKDF-Extract when an
      external PSK is present [Err8888].

This adds an additional informational reference:

   [Err8888]  RFC Errata, Erratum ID 8888, RFC 8773,
              <https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid8888>.
