Could the IESG please use [e-mail] instead of obfuscating the 
email address?  Some of us are lazy especially on Fridays.

Erratum #1077 has been classified as "Held for Document 
Update".  Will there ever be a document update?  Implementing this 
specification requires HTTP/1.1 and TLS 1.0.  I suggest updating the 
reference to RFC 4346 at least and waiting for the updated HTTP specifications.

St. Andre and Mr. Hodges authored a Proposed Standard called 
"Representation and Verification of Domain-Based Application Service 
Identity within Internet Public Key Infrastructure Using X.509 (PKIX) 
Certificates in the Context of Transport Layer Security 
(TLS)".  Quoting from Section 1.4:

   "the procedures described here can be referenced by future
    specifications, including updates to specifications for
    existing application protocols if the relevant technology
    communities agree to do so."

May I suggest taking the above into consideration and at least put 
some minimal effort into a 2818bis?
