Re: I-D Action: draft-ietf-httpbis-message-signatures-12.txt

Not a lot here: 

 - added a new algorithm definition based on feedback from a large implementor (ECDSA on curve P-384)
 - shuffled around the security considerations into categories
 - added the “context” parameter for applications to use as an application-specific label

All issues tagged “signature” are closed, and the editors believe that this document is ready for last call.

Chairs, we would like to start the WGLC process.
