Hi,

This is the new version of the HIP certificates.

Modifications include:
- Editorial changes according to the discussions on the mailing list.
- Added new types for DN and LDAP URL
- Added signaling discussion and reference to the heer-hip-service-00

Open questions:

1. Should signaling be defined specifically for hip-cert?

Seems like overlapping work because hip-service already defines a 
generic way to signal the requirements and failures but it is individual 
submission.

2. Should hip-service be adopted as WG item and handled in bundle with
  hip-cert?

Because the signaling is needed for the hosts to signal the need for a 
certificate or for a chain of certificates. But referencing hip-service 
cannot be done unless its taken forward at the same pace.

3. Or should the hip-cert be more generic?

Then hip-cert would be about just the parameter and the signaling of 
requirements and failures would be left to other documents such as 
hip-service to handle (but which would progress on its own pace).

4. Gathering use case scenarios and adding examples to the draft?

5. Add new examples?

If something seems to be missing or off. Please, inform me.

Comments are welcome as usual.

BR,
Samu Varjonen
