Hi Sean,
The easiest way to think about this is that the UTA WG was started to avoid having to write 10-50 drafts updating each RFC that specified an application’s use of TLS. They wrote one draft that ended up being a BCP that basically says that any implementer that is faithfully implementing TLS implement the algorithms specified in that BCP. What might have tied this all up is an updates header in the BCP that listed every single RFC that is updated. But, that header would be really long and kind of not necessary because I think that’s what a BCP is all about.
OK, I understand. Many thanks for your explanation. -- Julien ÉLIE « Quand on aime on ne compte pas… Ça tombe bien, je suis mauvaise en calcul ! » _______________________________________________ TLS mailing list TLS@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tls
