Eliot, I wouldn't say it's OE because local attestation is a solid form of
authentication.  I like Stephen 's suggestion: roll solving this ambiguity
into work on the pimping cookbook.

So here's my pet peeve:

OE may have other very valid uses besides pervasive surveillance,
depending on its definition.  One of the problems that has beguiled home
networking people is how to establish a trust between devices in the
home.  There are similar cases for home access beyond the home, where
trust needn't be anchored by an X.509 cert but perhaps by local
attestation of some form.  Are these use cases OE or is that not OE?
