Thanks all for the useful discussion on this topic! 

We hit this issue again during interop this week and decided for now to use the 
option to include in "idevid-issuer" the complete ASN.1 AuthorityKeyIdentifier 
SEQUENCE,
since one implementation was already using that for a while now; and using the 
same thing helps in the interop work.

Created an issue in Github to mark our final decision at some point: 
https://github.com/anima-wg/constrained-voucher/issues/161

Best regards
Esko

Yes... the bigger the org, the less anyone has any idea what's going on 
globally.
And then add in mergers/acquisitions.

I agree that we could clarify the use of this field.

One thing that I don't like is that it's hard to write/edit/revise the
"description" field in the YANG, and more and more, I'd like to just say,
"See RFCXXXX section Y.Z" in the description.

That might not fly as a process.
