I think you left off T10 from the distribution
accidentally. I have included the reflector.

RE: SSC-3 Action Item Reminder
My action below re: table 123
in SSC-3r03e. I have no issue with removing the version byte, and
the format byte.
The question about those fields
had to do their layout and intended use:
byte 2-3 - specifies the
length of the label field (upto 64k)
byte 4 - version byte or
format byte - not specified which
byte 5 - version byte or
format byte - not specified which
byte 6-n - contains wrapped
key descriptors (defined in 8.5.4.7)
which contains descriptor
type, reserved, and wrapped key descriptor length and wrapped key descriptor
byte n+1-m - contains wrapped
key length
byte m+1-x - contains the
wrapped keys
We should either specify which
goes where, and what they are for; or if we don't know yet, but think we
may need something later, then just create 2 reserved bytes; or totally
remove them. Does anyone remember what structure this version/format
were referring to (and why it's not part of that structure itself)?
Right now, they both shall be
set to 00h, so it's no big deal (which also means we could just mark them
as reserved - or it means we don't really need it). If someone else
knows why they are there, then the justification for keeping them will
need to come from that someone else.
