The author approved the text and the six open decisions on 1 October 2026.
The spec says now what the review left open: the form of the CMS signature
and of the TSTInfo field by field, the ESSCertIDv2 with SHA-256 written, the
padding of the locator at its boundaries, base32 CIDs, the addresses read
without decoding, the issuer shown by the rules of the holder, and the area
decided after the signatures. SpecVersion is 0.11, the records of fixtures
and vectors say so, and decrypt shows an mtime later than a valid seal as an
inconsistency, which 29.7 asks as a SHOULD.

internal/ed25519strict verifies the author signature of alg 1 with the
strict profile of the spec v0.11 draft (29.9): A canonical and not of
small order, checked with an encoding check and the table of the eight
points of small order, then crypto/ed25519 for S, R and the equation
without the cofactor. No arithmetic on points and no new module.
testdata/vectors/ed25519_strict.json has 18 signatures after the cases of
«Taming the many EdDSAs», built by testkit with arithmetic on the curve in
math/big, only for the vectors, which also checks the table of small
order. crypto/ed25519 accepts 11 of them that the profile rejects: the
eight points of small order and the non-canonical keys as A.
