Subject: Re: [Curdle] [Editorial Errata Reported] RFC8410 (5707)
Precedence: list

This errata is correct.  I would recommend as labeling it "Editorial" and "Hold for update" as, while it is not correctly DER encoded, a DER decode should still correctly decode it.   A BER decoder, which is what I would use because of the history of encoding errors will successfully decode it.
