Yes, I'm sure those guidelines are all well and good and clearly thought out. The problem is that what actually gets *LEGISLATED* may be a totally different story - wander over to Ed Felton's www.freedom-to-tinker.org and read up on the so-called 'Super-DMCA' which has, according to an number of people, made NAT and firewalls technology illegal in Michigan. No, I'm *not* a lawyer - but I would be quite surprised if in *no* jurisdictions did the legislature unwittingly pass equally silly legislation regarding digital signatures - which is why I said "Check with a lawyer".
