[[ questions ]]

[ section 4.2 ]

* I'm insufficiently versed in TLS and HKDF to know for sure, but the text
  about "replace the string" and the diagrammed example don't seem to agree,
  **to my untrained eye**.  The example seems to show "imp binder" perhaps
  concatenated with the "standard" sequence, rather than "imp binder"
  /replacing/ "ext binder".

  Am I way off base here? In other words, should

    "ext binder" | "res binder" | "imp binder"

  actually be (if I understand the use of the word "replace" correctly):

    "imp binder" | "res binder"

  ?

  I will happily differ to others more knowledgeable than myself
  (essentially: almost everybody).


[[ nits ]]

[ section 3 ]

* "are bound a target protocol" -> "are bound to a target protocol"
