Hi Paul and Robert --

I agree with you both the display types are a debatable feature of
SPKI/SDSI.  They obviously add a little bit of complexity.  On the
other hand, they have the following benefits:

	(1) they allow the use of names over a non-Latin alphabet

	(2) they allow incorporation of pictures and other document
            types

My personal opinion is that (1) makes them worth the extra trouble...

	Cheers,
	Ron Rivest
