We're getting there -- slowly. Why not faster? My theory is that
it's a lack of marketing money. No one makes money off SPKI, so no
one spends money to push it.
BTW, I have a program (which I will post when I get my act together)
showing a mapping from canonical S-expressions to XML (with the
reverse mapping obvious), and that defines another XML syntax for
SPKI certificates. Paajarvi didn't use it because it requires a
schema (not DTD) to describe the resulting XML (because some element
names are used differently in different contexts).
