Hi.

In the writeup I asked Stephen to include a note that there is a
normative downreference to RFC 4757. RFC 4757 is informational.
This document recommends that implementations not implement some of the
algorithms in RFC 4757, thus creating a normative down-ref.
My opinion and that of the WG is that permitting this normative
down-reference is the appropriate course of action.
