If you think the changes apply to both, then great feel free to go and propose those changes get made in the TLSA spec; I see no reason to burden the proponents of these changes with that job.

Nor do I see a reason for the proponents to burden us with making the changes here if there is no support for them. As you probably saw, another WG member pointed out that there were significant technical issues with the wording of the revocation proposal. If we incorporate that into the S/MIME draft, that draft will get delayed while the proponents get their wording right.

A better process would be for the proponents to offer a standalone draft for the idea that will be an extension that would be usable to both TLSA and SMIMEA and any other documents that come later.
