(And I get flamed by multiple people because I put in the quote and managed to
hit send before adding the commentary. Maybe one of these days I'll learn not
to try to mix replying to e-mail and dealing with vendor engineers doing a tape
library expansion at the same time. :) Oh well, equivalent text follows as a
reply to Scott...)

True. The question is whether we get to *deploy* said designs.

But more importantly, who has more/better lobbyists, you or the people who
want things like COICA and ACTA?
You're going to have to fix *that* problem before trying to address it at the
protocol level will do any real, lasting good. Either that or we need a *lot* more TOR
relays (while those are still legal).
Oh, and an article that coincidentally popped up since I hit 'send' on the
previous mail:

Designing things to evade good data mining is a *lot* harder than it looks.
