With Russ' help, I believe it is all sorted now.

Then I had to work out how to get the base64 encoding needed for the 
CERT RR.  I believe that is all set.

I am really a hack at coding.  I do so little of it.   My serious joke 
is I never coded in 'C', only in 'B' (the Waterloo B compiler for 
Honeywell minis and mainframes back in the mid-80s).  And Python is 
really challenging in how it handles variable types. Particularly if you 
hack at it as seldom as I.

My scripts are at:

https://github.com/ietf-wg-drip/drip-scripts

and it is the endorse.py that makes the CERT RR.

Now to actually lay out the DNS structure for allowing full testing of DRIP.

I worked out some things late last week, and am now defining what I am 
calling the DRIP DKI (DRIP Key Infrastructure).

Follow my stumbling along on the DRIP wg list.
