The various implementers have been having substantial conversions behind the scenes about TEAP. There are a number of interoperability issues which have come up, and therefore need to be addressed.
The discussions were held offline to avoid bothering the list with details about C code, functions, etc. It looks like we're approaching clarity on how TEAP operates, so I'm posting this message now. The current feeling is that the document has substantial room for improvement. I'm writing new non-normative text, or rewording some of the non-normative text. These changes address questions which were raised by implementers. There may need to be small changes to the key derivation functions. Both RFC7170 and 7170bis are unclear enough that multiple implementations have done different things. We're currently investigating exactly what those difference are. Once we have some quantitative data, we will update the WG with the information. We can then discuss what the next steps are. The document is currently held in the RFC editor queue, waiting for draft-ietf-lamps-rfc7030-csrattrs. I expect that once we finish updates to 7170bis, we will need to run the document through the WG last call again. As the bulk of the changes are just clarifications, I hope that the last call process will be quick. Once I have a new revision of the document, I will post a message to the list summarizing the changes. I've been tracking each individual change as a separate git commit. The hope is that the resulting series of commits will be easy to understand and to review. So I had hoped that 7170bis was done. But in the interest of improving the document to increase interoperability, it looks like it needs more work.
