In October 2020, Stefan approached me about working with him on the SVT documents.  I said that the information that was perviously presented had not convinced me that this was needed.  That lead to a dialog about the digitally signed documents in archives.  The examples that Stefan used were the Swedish Agency for Digital Government (DIGG) and eduSign.  Further discussion of these use chases convinced me that there was value to this approach.  These were included in the SECDISPATCH slides at IETF 109:

I am not saying that the specifications are finished.  Rather, I am saying let's talk about them.  Has anyone on this list found things in the documents to praise or criticize?
