Yes -- I apologize if my language was imprecise: I meant to say that Namecoin needs to become a de-facto standard like HKP. My "the HKP keyserver protocol isn't documented in RFC4880" was meant to present a de-facto but still unofficial standard, just like I think Namecoin would need to become. > Personal opinion, no. The OpenPGP standard doesn't deal with key storage or > retrieval issues. One option would be to start a new RFC that attempted to document various best practices for using OpenPGP. I agree that key storage, key retrieval, etc. -- all of which fall under the loose umbrella of "key management" -- are not part of RFC4880 and should not become such. However, an RFC documenting the ecosystem around RFC4880 might be useful. That said, though, we're running pretty far afield of Enigmail. > RFC4880 and extension RFCs such as Camellia and ECC. Correction cheerfully granted. :) _______________________________________________ enigmail-users mailing list [email protected] https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net
