It is really a matter of how clients are designed. It is important that a site is never bookmarked under the KSK, meaning the fproxy should move a user to the SSK/CHK URL, and that sites are never linked to as KSKs (fproxies anonymity filter should check for this). Also, KSKs should never contain anything but a straight forward redirect to a single key - All regular update redirects and mapfiles _have_ to be under secure keytypes. Also, clients should keep a local cache of name to secure keytype pairs based on previous visits, so that if you attempt to return the name of a site you have been at before it goes directly to the secure key (I know that this happens to some extent with the local caching - but that is never for sure). If you don't like KSKs then don't use them. Help make the clients better in how they treat them, and help me yell at people who do stupid things like link to KSKs. Also, remember that there is no such thing as getting rid of KSKs. They are just signed data with a publicly known private keys - if we want the option of having signed data with privately held public keys, we have to accept them. We could possibly try to discourage them by making it easier to overwrite data, but it is not sure whether that would make the situation better or worse... -- 'DeCSS would be fine. Where is it?'
