Comment :  I-D.1.2.1 para 5

discussion of trust

Comment:

I-Appendix D.1.2.1 paragraph 5 discusses the subject of trust and claims the verification station's software is a trusted computing base. Independent dual verification systems operate from the concept of no trust.  The dual path, by being independent, allow verification  through audit.

Recommended Change:

This paragraph should be deleted.
