Yet others had other points to make. So let us consider for example, the arguably more alarming 'kitten killer' proposal at todays workshop. Someone could write up the proposal that every time someone clicks through an Web site with a bad certificate they are shown a picture of a freshly killed kitten. And that could be submitted as an ID: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nakamoto-kittenkiller-00.txt But that does not mean that the IETF is proposing to kill a kitten every time someone clicks through a warning about a bad web site certificate. -- Website: http://hallambaker.com/
