Re: [DNSOP] draft-ietf-dnsop-kskroll-sentinel-07

Geoff you are wrong. Titles should tell you what you are about
to read especially technical documents. There are WAY TOO MANY
RFC TO READ EVERYONE ON THEM.

If I had a TA for andrews.wattle.id.au the current title would
indicate that I could test resolvers to see if there is a TA
installed for it.

The current draft *is not* generic.  It is root TA specific.
That needs to be reflected in the title.

As for the label it can be used for more than rolling KSKs.
It can be used to see what resolvers are supporting new TA
*when you are not rolling keys*.  The current name reflects
*one* use, not all uses.
