Your comment on 4.2.1 Evidence Interface:
> + Section 4.2.1 Evidence Interface
> 
> Is the Evidence interface a generic interface or an specific interface
> for representing Evidence in the form of HTTP headers?
> If it is a generic interface, as I see it, then 4.2.1.1 1. Add Evidence

>  AddEvidence(key,value)
> Query Evidence (key)
> Retrieve Evidence (key)


Working Group Resolution (LC-1972):
The interface description makes it clear how key/value pairs are used.
Within the context of the API, the interface is used with respect to
header names and header values, and is described in these terms. For
clarity, the description mentions the possibility of using the interface
for other key/value data but does not go any further to describe such
generic use. Additional commentary regarding generic usage might be made
available through other means, but remains out of scope for the normative
API.
