One important point about SSL is that it is not purely limited
to WWW. I will be implementing SSL for SMTP conversations some
time in the next couple of months. I am actually trying to
find out what port people would wish that I used.
This is also a disadvantage, in that the same functionality is being
standardized at a different layer, to wit the IP security stuff.
