Apparently our objections stem from our lingering resentment over the

In case you're wondering who the author is, since neither the bio on
the page or Verisign's site is helpful. Mark McLaughlin is a former
lawyer who moved into Marketing and Biz Development (Caere, Gemplus,
Signio and then Verisign payments).
