Erratum #1077 has been classified as "Held for Document
Update". Will there ever be a document update? Implementing this
specification requires HTTP/1.1 and TLS 1.0. I suggest updating the
reference to RFC 4346 at least and waiting for the updated HTTP specifications.
St. Andre and Mr. Hodges authored a Proposed Standard called
"Representation and Verification of Domain-Based Application Service
Identity within Internet Public Key Infrastructure Using X.509 (PKIX)
Certificates in the Context of Transport Layer Security
(TLS)". Quoting from Section 1.4:
"the procedures described here can be referenced by future
specifications, including updates to specifications for
existing application protocols if the relevant technology
communities agree to do so."
May I suggest taking the above into consideration and at least put
some minimal effort into a 2818bis?
