I just submitted an i-d documenting a much simpler trust anchor format 
than the one in the current WG draft.  Like the format in the WG doc, 
this one allows for a long-lived trust anchor even though the unlying 
certificate changes more often, e.g. when new resources are added. 
This format has the advantage of being noticeably simpler.

I encourage the WG to adopt this format in place of the one in the 
current WG doc.
