Probably no-objection, but I have a couple of queries and nits.

Disclaimer: 74 page draft on a topic where I am an anti-expert. YMMV.

Q1: Was there a positive choice *not* to make this a BCP, and does
that choice imply any doubt about the recommendations?

Q2: I found no mention of the proxy certificate mechanism,
already implemented in grids, RFC 3820. Doesn't this affect the
way certification paths are built?

Nit 1: no IANA Considerations section

Nit 2: There's a reference to [RFC 2396], which is being updated. But
in any case, this reference is not cited in the text, so what is
it for? Same for [RFC 1738] - maybe all the informative references
should be checked.
