Re: AW: new RetrievalMethod section

Hummm, perhaps I copied Reference a bit too blindly...  You could have
a case where the location of the keying material was implied by the
application, but in that case, there is really no reason to bother
with a RetrievalMethod element at all...  We can talk about this on
today's teleconference.

Thanks,
Donald
