Hiya,

I don't think I did omit that. My stated reason to ask was
to help me figure out what I think about the draft named in
the subject line. And yes, I do think that if a codepoint
is being requested for a new version of an existing one
then asking about how the existing one was used is a good
thing to do. The case with gost and rsa+sha1/sha256 isn't
the same because gost is a series of national standards.

Thanks. In that case, it sounds like it'd have been better
to use a private or experimental code point for that kind
of thing. OTOH, my understanding (based only on hallway
chats over the years) was that the codepoint was allocated
for political reasons. Either way, does that mean that a
lot of effort to implement and test was wasted since that
codepoint was allocated? If so, avoiding that in future
would be good, if there's a way to do that.

Cheers,
S.

PS: note that I'm neither supporting, nor objecting to,
Paul's draft in the above.
