Re: [TLS] Call for TLS Server-ID check reviewers

I do think that this is a very sad document, since it may queer the pitch for
what could have come after.

It used to be much smaller, and cover so much more - IP Addresses, e-mail
addresses, SIP addresses, etc as reference identities,  use by client as well as
server etc., greater use of wild card, ..... - and so offer much to the rest of
the IETF.

There may be an application using TLS for which this larger, but much reduced,
I-D is still appropriate, but I cannot recall seeing one in the IETF lately.

(As such, it reminds me of some of the would-be TLS extensions that have not
gained traction here).

Deep sigh:-(

Still, I will read it again to remind myself just how much skill has gone into
producing it  ........
