Hi all,

Late to the party, but here are some nits/things on
draft-ietf-dane-openpgpkey-02. I have not read my huge backlog of the
DANE mailinglist, so please correct me if I'm beating a dead horse.

Nearly all issues I have are mentioned in
draft-ietf-dane-openpgpkey-usage-01.

I'm very much on the "Yes, this is good"-side of things.

3.1:
The MAY in the last sentence is much too weak. We can’t have
interoperability without some stronger rules. Suggest moving this whole
section into -usage or mentioning that these will be specified in a
later document (-usage in this case).

5.1:
Singling out one RRTYPE to push DNS-COOKIES feels weird. I'm just
mentioning it, but as this section is merely a suggestion, it is fine.

Appendix A:
Two things: I suggest moving this to -usage and adding pseudocode
examples. The latter mostly to encourage more implementations.
