John,

To remove any concerns related to the inclusion of VSP policy in draft-ietf-regext-verificationcode, the sentence " The VSP MUST store the proof of verification and the generated verification code; and MAY store the verified data." can be removed.  If there are no objections to the removal of this sentence, it will be removed in the next version of the draft.

    I think there's a difference -- in security sections the goal is usually 
    to prevent leakage or spoofing or something else that would allow a 
    malicious party to interoperate with a victim.  One part of good interop 
    is not to interoperate with attackers.  But that's not what's going on 
    here.  The signature shows that the token is valid, and unless I'm missing 
    something, whatever you might learn from the thing the token represents is 
    outside the scope of EPP.
