I think we would be getting too close to taking a stance on the validity, enforceability of the IPR.  The WG has already discussed and chose to go ahead.

RFC6090 is a normative reference for this document, pointing at the signature algorithm to be used.  Any implementer would have to at least check out RFC6090 and would find the text above in the Abstract.

Thanks!
