[Handle-info] RFC Updates for Predefined Handle Types

["Hammond, Tony" <t.hammond@nature.com>]

Hi:

I know this is a pain in the backside but I was just following up my earlier
questions [1] about predefined handle types. From that message it seems that

    HS_NA_DELEGATE
    HS_PRIMARY

should be removed from the RFC as they don't occur in the code or type
registry (0.TYPE).

Conversely

    HS_SECKEY
    HS_PUBKEY

look like they should be added to the RFC as they are both in the codebase
and type registry.

The following type

    HS_DSAPUBKEY

is listed in the codebase as being standard but is not listed in the type
registry. Could this be not a standard type at all but just a credential
type the same as

    HS_MAC
    HS_SIGNED

as it's also typed that way.

As for

    HS_NAMESPACE

I've really no idea. It doesn't look to be standard nor is it registered.

I've added these types in a RFC update table [2] on the OpenHandle project
to make it easier to see at a glance updates required for the RFC.

Sorry to be a pain but just seem to want it just so. :)

Cheers,

Tony
