Yes but.. I don't think that everyone is going to be aware of the risk
or ignore it thinking it can't happen to them. I still haven't stopped
smoking even though the Surgeon General puts all that scary warning
stuff on my smokes. It can't happen to me...


I want to add a little more...

It would also be ok if there was an alternative that was useful... and
will just refer to my previous posts as to why I thing "I SIGN SOME"'s
value is not worth the expense.

So without adding flags or some doable mechanism for how to verify the
DK even if it's munged.. I can't see the value in SSP as a whole.
And you know me!... I really would like to see it work. I am not
trying to torpedo it for some ulterior motive.
