#53: Clarify status of pin validation when used with private trust anchors


Comment (by palmer@google.com):

 The current draft has this text:

  578 <t>If the connection has no errors, then the UA will determine
 whether to
  579 apply a new, additional correctness check: Pin Validation. A UA
 SHOULD
  580 perform Pin Validation whenever connecting to a Known Pinned Host,
 but MAY
  581 allow Pin Validation to be disabled for Hosts according to local
 policy. For
  582 example, a UA may disable Pin Validation for Pinned Hosts whose
 validated
  583 certificate chain terminates at a user-defined trust anchor, rather
 than a
  584 trust anchor built-in to the UA. However, if the Pinned Host Metadata
  585 indicates that the Pinned Host is operating in "strict mode" (see
  586 <xref target="strict"/>), then the UA MUST perform Pin
 Validation.</t>

 I believe this is the result of previous consensus. Is that correct, and
 can I therefore close this issue?
