Right. I wasn't really trying to address the whole spectrum. The suggestion is that the common case is not as hard as it seems some are saying. More importantly, the common case need not involve third-party signatures. > like there would be some advantage to do the indirection at the protocol > layer (eg, SSP) rather than at the DNS layer (eg NS). Sure, in this scenario you need a multi-indirection capability, regardless of the technology you use. But is this saying anything more than complex requirements require complex deployments? The more general question I guess is how much do we want to get into defining management mechanisms? Largely I'd think such things don't require standardization and might benefit from a competitive landscape.
