Re: [Privacy-pass] Call for Adoption of Key Consistency and Discovery Draft

I think this is an important draft, useful for a couple different
protocols, and I support adoption.

Overall, I agree.  We should pick one WG (PRIVACYPASS seems fine), unless
somebody can think of a better, more general WG, and adopt all such
consistency drafts there.

One specific minor concern is that I
recall draft-schwartz-ohai-consistency-doublecheck had a payload format
specific to use for OHAI.  I suggested at IETF 114 that the draft be split
into two, one for the general protocol, and one for the OHAI-specific
payload and any other OHAI-specific details (which could maybe be merged
with other similar OHAI drafts for payload specs).

If you mean add a general description of techniques more similar to the
double-checking technique, I agree.

If you mean merge the two drafts completely, I disagree.  One is an
informational draft with a general overview of possible techniques.  The
other is a standards draft laying out a specific protocol to implement a
specific technique.  They should stay separate, and I believe having both
drafts would be very valuable.  Although there's probably good room for
both drafts to do more to reference the other.
