In comparison, our request to present {[}I-D.fossati-seat-expat{]} fully within the charter was refused. In this document, we disprove the claim made in {[}I-D.fossati-seat-early-attestation{]} for backward compatibility with standard TLS {[}I-D.ietf-tls-rfc8446bis{]}. We argue that {[}I-D.fossati-seat-expat{]} is a much more reaonsable way of achieving the goal within the scope of SEAT charter.}, }
