[Rick Andrews]

But what am I supposed to do if I can’t parse the syntax?

   Gerv, I would suggest simply removing "iodef" from "CAs MUST process the issue, issuewild, and iodef property tags". To me, the word "process" means to take some kind of action, as we must do with issue and issuewild tags. From what others have said, if the iodef record isn't marked critical, I can ignore it, and if it is marked critical, I can ignore it as long as I recognize it as an iodef record. I wouldn't call that "processing" the record.



   That's not quite correct. If it's marked critical, you must still understand how to parse the syntax, and ensure it is something you actively understand, even if you do not report.
