Re: draft-ietf-itrace-03.txt

I've been thinking about the public-key algorithm field in the
key-disclosure
  message.  It seems to me that if we have a URL in the
public-key-information
  message, the "stuff" that the URL points to can contain not only  the
  public key information, but also algorithms, etc.

The most common case would be that the URL would point to an X.509
  cert, which contains algorithm information already.  We perhaps don't
  need the algorithm field at all in the ITRACE message.  Comments?
