Within the Deploy360 Programme, we've been talking to a good number of people about how to advance the advocacy and promotion of DNSSEC... and we have been planning to incorporate DANE into that effort. But as much as we can do, we're still one organization - or even a group of organizations and companies. We need many more people involved. > > I know you may not think of yourself as a "protocol deployer", Paul, but I would argue that we do need everyone on this list thinking about how we can get DANE deployed. > > DANE is far too awesome - and far too powerful - to let it linger in limbo. Thanks, we are glad you like it :-) More seriously though, this is yet another chicken-and-egg problem. In this particular case I think that the easiest / fastest way to get better deployment is to convince the browser manufactures to include support for DANE -- this will incentivize[0] folk to deploy records.
