I was on the SIP list for a while, attempting to get security written into
the standard. There is already a provision for security written into the
standard, but it is completely unusable. It rapidly became obvious that it
was quite unthinkable that this could be changed, that I was being absurdly
naive in thinking that merely because the existing provisions in the
standard were unusable that there was some prospect for changing them.
