I guess it might be worth spreading this point more widely :-) I'll all for stamping out the wrong expansions, even if it sometimes seems pendantic. I'm told that Google is about to start their Cloud *Certificate* Authority. If that happens, I believe that any chance to assert the term will be completely lost :-) On the other hand, if they go with "certification authority", then perhaps the tide of the terminology will be reversed. -- Michael Richardson <[email protected]>, Sandelman Software Works -= IPv6 IoT consulting =-
