The following errata report has been submitted for RFC7469,
"Public Key Pinning Extension for HTTP".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5377

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Julian Reschke <julian.reschke@gmx.de>

Section: 2.3.4

Original Text
-------------
2.3.4.  HTTP-Equiv <Meta> Element Attribute

   UAs MUST NOT heed http-equiv="Public-Key-Pins" or
   http-equiv="Public-Key-Pins-Report-Only" attribute settings on <meta>
   elements [W3C.REC-html401-19991224] in received content.

Corrected Text
--------------
(remove the section)

Notes
-----
The spec attempts to make a normative requirement on HTML consumers. It can't do that; that's the role of the HTML spec.

In addition to that, this is already covered by what recent HTML specs say about http-equiv extensibility.

This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
