           Summary: BATV secret not identified as string list
           Product: Exim
           Version: 4.69
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: bug
          Priority: medium
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: nigel@???
        ReportedBy: sheldonh@???

The BATV-related documentation in the spec doesn't say that the <secret>
argument to prvs and prvscheck is a string list.

The prvs description calls it a "keystring".

The prvscheck refers to "the secret", singular.

This left me very confused about how to handle key rotation.

I think the descriptions of both should be modified to explicitly state that
the second argument is the secret string list. This is because the term
"string list" means something in the spec.

I'd send a patch, but am not sure what source file to edit. Last time I had
doc changes, Philip was maintaining the spec in some weird homegrown format
that wasn't publically available. :-)
