Requirements of the QuickDER decoder on the lifetime of the DER input and the arena. 5. Limitations of the QuickDER decoder, such as no BER and indefinite decoding.

Moved to target milestone 3.8 because the original NSS 3.7 release has been renamed 3.8.

I incorporated changes into the attached HTML document in response to Ian and Nelson's questions before I went on vacation. Please let me know if any more changes are needed. If not, please add a review. The document should go somewhere on mozilla.org .

I suggested that we create a "tech-notes" subdirectory under http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/, and check in documents like this one as NSS tech notes. They would be named tn1.html, tn2.html, etc. I guess this one can be tn1.html :-)

Unless there is more feedback, I think this version should be published on mozilla.org and the bug closed.
