Re: From whence we came...
actually, as it appeared to me at the Salt Lake City IETF, this list started as an outgrowth of the SSH-keys-in-DNS proposal, so it's already gone radically far afield. However, I strongly agree this is the way to get the confusion and misunderstandings out of the way and get some real work done.

Well, the reason _I_ asked to participate was that i saw us drilling the same unproductive rathole's we've drilled before... so as far as I was concerned it was part of the discussion... since some of the obvious suspects were in the loop I assumed others had similar opinions...
