I've been mildly involved with the WG since it's first workshop. I know that the group had been fishing for good use cases. My use case for Learning Registry, which is the need for users to cryptographically sign (w/ PGP) assertions within a browser before publishing into our P2P data network, was relatively fringe since it required signatures no encryption.
The primary UC they adopted was based upon Netflix needing to establish identity of the video player 'browser', the other UC being Mozilla's BrowserID neither which are based upon OpenPGP, since I need a long lived key to make establishing trust simpler. My needs fit relatively squarely with some of the work this group (OpenPGP.js) is doing - which you might even get a bit more traction and visibility by participating in the WG... especially if you can get private key material located outside of the browser. Now if anyone can point me in the direction of making OpenPGP.js work in v8 (Chrome) for PGP Clearsign and in Spidermonkey for PGP Verify I'd be most grateful. I couldn't figure out how to clearsign and from what I can tell much of what's there Verify is dependent upon Local Storage, which I don't have access to within Spidermonkey, (I'm trying to do signature validation from within CouchDB).
