Apologies if I have missed this: what is the To Do item? Do you mean publication as a Candidate Recommendation?

> There also seem to be some proposed departure from the Webauthn security model (e.g. strict RPID binding upon creation versus cross-origin iFrame registration, caching/freshness of assertions).  As per Sec. 2.2.1 of https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc8809/ requires a separate security/privacy considerations section to fully document such considerations.  Can you all make such an edit before CR?

We endeavor to address these topics in our Security Considerations [1] and Privacy Considerations [2] sections, including:

10.1: Cross-origin authentication ceremony
11.1. Registration in a Cross-Origin iframe

If there are subjects we are not adequately addressing there, perhaps we could jump on a call to discuss. 

I’m not sure what you mean by “caching/freshness of assertions.” SPC does not involve caching of assertions. Is there a passage
in the specification that is raising a concern?

Thanks again!

Ian

There will be a “this version” URI for the publication, and that dated version of the specification will remain unchanged.
