Issue with the requirements document: PKIX-centric terminology




Greetings again. draft-wallace-ta-mgmt-problem-statement-01.txt does a good job of listing the problems we need to deal with, but some parts use PKIX language in places they don't need to. It's fine if these places are marked off with "for example, in PKIX ...", but in many places that is not included.

To help make it clearer that the requirements are for management of all public keys, I propose that the following topics be removed or delimited as PKIXy examples:

- Name constraints

- Key usage

- Expiration dates of keys

- Possibly others that I have missed
