COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

** Section 2.
   For example, map keys could be registered for direct representations
   of natural platform time formats.

What are “natural platform time formats”?

** Section 3.
   The map must contain exactly one unsigned integer key that specifies
   the "base time", and may also contain one or more negative integer or
   text-string keys, which may encode supplementary information.

Should a normative MUST and MAY be used here?

** Section 8.
   Time, of course, has significant security considerations; these
   include the exploitation of ambiguities where time is security
   relevant (e.g., for freshness or in a validity span) or the
   disclosure of characteristics of the emitting system (e.g., time
   zone, or clock resolution and wall clock offset).

Recommend citing the Security Considerations of
draft-ietf-sedate-datetime-extended.  The text there covers a number of the
topics mentioned above.
