to mean the diagram like this:

                   NI query
nodeinfo client ------------------> the target
                                    with named (authorizing the name)
                                    and private key
                <------------------
                   NI response signed
                   by the private key

(BTW: I understood the very original idea of this thread meant the
diagram you showed.)

But if I just misunderstood, please ignore me.  I was just checking.
