Okay; how about the following (including Alexey's comments from the previous review, and pointing more specifically to 6125) <t>RID systems MUST verify the identity of their peers against that stored in the certificate presented, as in section 6 of <xref target="rfc6125"/>. As RID systems are identified not by URI and RID does not use DNS SRV records, they are identified solely by their DNS Domain Names; see Section 6.4 of <xref target="rfc6125"/>. General information on the use of PKI with RID systems is detailed in Section 9.3 of <xref target="I-D.ietf-mile-rfc6045-bis"/>.</t> Cheers, Brian
