Greetings again. Jakob and I have just published draft -07 because we wanted to keep the WG rolling. We fully admit (here and in the draft) that the use cases and requirements document isn't completely done, and we will make more changes if needed based on future changes to that document.

Please note that there is another large hole in -07, namely about DNSSEC. As the use cases document showed, DNSSEC is not needed in all cases for TLSA. We started to make changes to that effect, but the task of separating out when DNSSEC is and is not needed in the protocol is fairly large, and we want to be sure that the wording we end up with does not make someone think that they don't need DNSSEC for their use case if they really do. If there is someone out there who is itching for an interesting, focused editing task, let us know.

One last thing: the diffs for this version against the last will look awful. We did a major reorg to make the specification clearer to people who have not been following the progress from -00, and we figured doing it now was better than waiting until the end.
