I have made the following 2. changes to my local git repository that are slightly related

1. UML sequence
 - Added a UML sequence diagram in graffle and jpg format (so others can edit)
 - Added that UML into the spec
 - also added the graffle source for the other image

2. the protocol sequence

I then had to look how the protocol sequence fitted the sequence diagram, which led me in a second step to:

 - remove the implication that the authentication server must authenticate ALL the WebIDS. Peter Williams had some very convincing arguments as to why that was a bad idea
 - reordered the sequence of events: TLS private key authentication happens before the certs are extracted before other layers get access to the certificate. 
 - removed the note about  "a digital signature challenge" that was never discussed
 
My version is here:

If you press cntr-alt-shift-S in your browser you will have a dialog that will allow you to get a visual diff from the current version. It seems to have a bug as it shows a lot more changes that were made.
The only relevant ones are in section 3.1

I am trying to find a tool to give me a url for a visual diff of the source code between the two versions but was not able to find one.

  Feeback welcome,

  Henry
