The Eligible Revocation can be determined from publicly available information (by brute force, as you mentioned). While you're certainly correct that the resources needed to do so aren't generally available (or available on this earth, as you mentioned in your side-note to your side-note), I'm not sure the rules impose any restriction on resources required for interpretation, only information required to do so. As shel mentioned, my initial note was slightly incorrect. I said "random 64-bit value", but meant "random 256-bit value" (or 64 characters of random hex). It's not a hash of a random value; the required hash itself *is* a random value. Gaelan
