Re: [dane] Calling the naming issue...

I'm a little confused, since I see a message from Warren on 6 Dec saying
that the call would be extended until tomorrow.  I admit that I have not
been following this discussion closely, though.

In case the window for comments / proposals is still open, my only insight
here is that usages 0/1 are very much like the "pinning" work being done in
draft-ietf-websec-key-pinning, so it might be helpful to re-use that term
here.  For 2/3, it seems like people I've talked to understand the verbs
"assert" (since that's what the domain holder is doing) or "trust" (since
that's what the recipient is being asked to do).

        0 - PIN-CA
        1 - PIN-EE
        2 - ASSERT-CA or TRUST-CA
        3 - ASSERT-EE or TRUST-EE

So that's my favorite color for the bike shed.
