Reviewer: Miguel Garcia <miguel.a.garcia@ericsson.com>
Review Date: 14-Dec-2009
IETF LC End Date: 24-Dec-2009

Summary: The document is ready for publication as an informational RFC.

It came as a surprise that a protocol that is used to enhance the 
security ends up saying that protocol does not require clients to verify 
the server certificate. It sounds strange, but I think it is well justified.

Nits/editorial comments:

- Expand acronyms at first occurrence. This includes: SRP

- Section 5, 6th paragraph:

s/a list that map realm names/a list that maps real names
