Bill has expressed to me in private mail that he thinks that the
question of certificates, certificate formats and naming can wait, but
frankly I don't think it can because we don't have a usable system
without it.
I agree very strongly with Perry about this. I tried raising the
issue a few months ago; it met with a resounding silence. We need
to settle this immediately, if not sooner. It is, as far as I'm
concerned, an absolute show-stopper -- without some resolution, I
would vote against -- well, not precisely vote in the IETF, but you
know what I mean -- Photuris, on those grounds alone.
