Section 8.4 says:

   remotely (outside of the entity).

It should say:

See notes

Notes:

Attester-generated nonce does not provide any replay protection since the Attester can pre-generate an Evidence that might not reflect the actual system state, but a past one.

https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/rats/jcAv9FKbYSIVtUNQ8ggEHL8lrmM/

For replay protection, nonce should *always* be derived remotely (for example, by the Relying Party).
