Although I agree not having to support all of DER is nice, in practice I think all implementations do and libraries to parse DER are widespread. Given that the last time we modified tx rules without bumping version numbers we managed to break the only functioning iPhone client, I've become a big fan of backwards compatibility: seems the default choice should be to preserve compatibility over technical niceness until the old versions have been fully phased out. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
