Clients/auditors need to ensure that they are indeed receiving the latest STR from the directory. The main problem here is: After missing multiple epochs, how does a client/auditor know what the latest epoch of a directory is?
Some ideas:
Clients can omit the EndEpoch when monitoring to indicate that they are requesting every STR up to the latest epoch
If they receive newer STRs from auditors, clients must request additional STRs from the directory
alternative: clients can query auditors before monitoring with the directory?
