Actually the output for an unusable exp= <target-name> IS specified,
implementations are supposed to ignore a bad explanation, and report
FAIL as if there's no exP= at all.

Fine, then we'll make it so, 2 and 3 are equivalent.  I'll change 
the errata page in the next days, leaving only your solution, maybe
combining the rationale for 2+3 if necessary.  After that I'll set
a timeout for objections, and if nothing happens in a week or so I
move this erratum to resolved.

The 2821bis Last Call just started, that allows us to tackle the
last open issues based on the current draft.  John just looked into
it _again_ wrt "no-dot addresses", I guess we have the final word
about it, therefore we can finish our pending "no-dot" business.
