COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------


- general: I agree with Kathleen who agrees with Russ'
secdir review. [1] I was left puzzled as to how this
would be useful to readers. But I've no objection if
that's felt to be the case. However, I'd really
encourage the editors/WG/AD to consider that a 
number of folks (who are familiar with GSS etc.) have
found this draft pretty unclear.

- abstract: 1st sentence seems unwieldy - it puzzled me
anyway;-)

- (various places): Would "identifier syntax" not be
better than "identity syntax"? There's no need to
bikeshed on it, but I do prefer the latter a good bit in
case that helps:-)

- 5.3: Would that "must never" in the 2nd last para be
clearer as an RFC2119 "MUST NOT"? (Just checking.)

- 6.1: Are there any cases of domain names that allow
for escaping or have other syntatic features that
involve more than just octet string comparisons to check
domain name equality? I don't think there are, so just
checking. If there were, then you might need to say
something about that somewhere.
