: But that page says that VNC communicates in "plain text" and I've been
: told repeatedly that it is using some sort of X protocol that is not
: plain text. It's not encrypted, but it isn't plain text either.
I didn't see anybody else mention it, but it's worth noting
that the use of "plaintext" here is a cryptogaphic technical term,
meaning "the unencrypted form", as contrasted with "ciphertext".
The use in "data exchange [] is in plaintext" does not imply
that the data will be interpreted as ascii characters.
That is, it's not refering to the MIME type text/plain.
"technical term" is a technical term which states that
a specific word in a specific context has its meaning
distorted beyond all recognition
