I edit the TPM main spec, not the PTP. As I discover TPMs that don't
meet the spec, or where the spec has changed over time, I add
informative comments to guide developers.

If you know of TPM hardware that does not meet the PTP specification,
let me know the specifics. I can bring it to the PTP work group and try
to get comments added.

I do not need to know the TPM vendor. That information would not go
into the specification anyway.
