--------------------------------------
Type: Editorial
Reported by: Alfred Hoenes <[email-masked]>

Section: 3.3.2

Original Text
-------------
[[  first paragraph  ]]

   The bootstrap information message (with the in-band bootstrap scheme)
|  and direct time synchronization response message (with the indirect
   time synchronization scheme) both need to be signed by the sender.
   [...]

Corrected Text
--------------
   The bootstrap information message (with the in-band bootstrap scheme)
|  and direct time synchronization response message (with the direct
   time synchronization scheme) both need to be signed by the sender.
   [...]

Notes
-----
Rationale: most likely a typo, but confusing:
why would the _indirect_ schem use the _direct_ scheme's messages?
