… delegated trust marks

Fixes #123

This relates to delegated trust marks, and the information a TA publishes in trust_mark_issuers for such trust marks.

This includes two changes:

  • Changes MUST to SHOULD, since it is generally optional to publish information in trust_mark_issuers, I don't see a reason why it must be a MUST for delegated trust marks.
  • Explicitly state that the TA can provide the empty array to accept all Trust Mark Issuers (within the federation) that the Trust Mark Owner has delegated to

When would it be useful for the Trust Anchor to not publish information about the acceptable Trust Mark Issuers for a Trust Mark identifier? In order words, why does it improve the spec to change the MUST to a SHOULD?

The MUST only refers to publishing a trust_mark_issuers for trust mark ids that are delegated, i.e. where the TA publishes a trust mark owner in trust_mark_owners.
In the general case it is already optional for a TA to publish information in trust_mark_issuers. In my opinion this also should be the case for delegated trust marks.

All right. Given that trust_mark_issuers is OPTIONAL, I guess I'm OK with making this a SHOULD.

@rohe and @peppelinux, what do you think?
