Is there a preferred forum specifically for discussing this document rather
than the high-volume HTTP list?  In terms of github, I've never been convinced
that a PR is the best substitute for a discussion list thread...

I've got some specific suggestions about wording around the (mis-)use of GET,
which early versions of SCEP did (and some still do *cough*Microsoft*cough*),
creating non-idempotent GET requests containing multiple kB of base64-encoded
binary gunk.  SCEP has provided a good litmus test for how many ways this
breaks in the presence of proxies, caches, and a wide range of server types,
being able to reference 56bis on this would mean I could remove a pile of text
from the draft.

Peter.
