While I concded your point that we need to plan for interoperability, Gary,
I'm going to put my foot down about not *defaulting* to re-use.
Why not? Because my spider-sense tells me that if (and *only* if) we
rely on that, some clever bastard is going to come up with a bizarre,
previously-unimagined spin on a replay attack. Because that's just the
way the Dread God Finagle rolls.
