In the latest PKINT draft, there are still references to dhKeyAgreement.
Shouldn't all of these be changed to dhpublicnumber? I have also noticed
that the KdcDHKeyInfo is defined differently in the PacketCable Security
Specification (PKT-SP-SEC- I04-010820). Is there a reason for this?

PKINIT draft:

    KdcDHKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
                              -- used only when utilizing Diffie-Hellman
      subjectPublicKey        [0] BIT STRING,
      nonce                   [1] INTEGER,
      dhKeyExpiration         [2] KerberosTime OPTIONAL
    }

PacketCable:

KdcDHKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
     nonce [0] INTEGER,
     subjectPublicKey [2] BIT STRING
}

Thanks,
Gilles
