The way I understand it, your proposal is not so much to "reserve 16
bits" but rather to "include a 16 bit field defined as the pinning time
in hours". Or maybe, "reserve 16 bits as set to zero on send and ignored
on receive" in the current TLS DNSSEC draft, let it be published as RFC,
and publish very soon a draft that defines the 16 bit field as the
pinning time in hours, and presumably explains how to avoid the usual
pitfalls of pinning. Do I understand correctly?
