The Document formats section (chapter 4) of the specification says the following: "All of the formats described below include the ability to add more attribute-value fields to objects for backward-compatible format changes. Implementers who encounter undefined attribute-value pairs in the format must include the data when calculating hashes or verifying signatures and must preserve the data when re-serializing." I initially thought it's applicable only to the SIGNED fields as "undefined attribute-value pairs in the format must include the data when calculating hashes or verifying signatures" This doesn't mean that the sentence before that excludes "Metadata" as a possible place for additional fields. The other maintainers agreed with me and we are going to add support for 'unrecognized_fields" inside "Metadata". Signed-off-by: Martin Vrachev <mvrachev@vmware.com> |
