I don't know, that's why one designs for extensibility. Maybe some application will want to create its own ValidityInterval for it's given purposes. No, not everyone needs to support this, it's not in the "core" spec. While XKMS defines the core info and associated processing. I don't see the need to preclude applications from associating or asking for whatever data they want with a key binding. -- Joseph Reagle Jr. http://www.w3.org/People/Reagle/ W3C Policy Analyst mailto:reagle@w3.org IETF/W3C XML-Signature Co-Chair http://www.w3.org/Signature/ W3C XML Encryption Chair http://www.w3.org/Encryption/2001/
