Issue in spec examples

Hello working group...

Pondering the XKMS specs I noticed following:

In the current (20050628) spec version the Revocation(...)
elements in the examples in section 6.1.1 and 6.3.1 appear wrong.
The listed pass phrase is "Help I have revealed my key",
but to get the shown spec values one has to compute with
"helpihaverevealedmykey".

This seems to be an oversight from issue 335-jk [1], where the
preparation algorithmen was changed and not all examples
regenerated.
If one looks in the 20040405 spec version, in C.2.1 one can see
the calculation of the value which is still in the current spec.

This issue doesn't appear on the errate list (yet)?


On debugging this I got temporarily confused by the examples
in [2], ..xkrss/readme suggests e.g.
Messages:
   synchronous/register-request-synchronous-2.xml
   synchronous/revoke-request-synchronous-1.xml
Revocation = "Revoke My Key"

But to recreate the Revocation... values one has to use
"revoke my key", which is neither "old" or "current" spec
string preparation?


HTH,
Martin

(notice too that the "raised" date in the description is wrong,
it should read 2004 and not 2005)
