How do the proponents of the META Signatures proposal feel on this

William ?
Since my name was on the To: line and I have in the past stated favor
for S/MIME based proposals, I'll give my opinion:
As with all of William's work, META Signatures is good stuff.
However, in the intervening months I've talked to several vendors who
have implemented DomainKeys and not a single one ever said "This
would have been easier if it were based on S/MIME". Given this plus
the apprehension some people have regarding S/MIME's interaction with
current MUAs, I now think the DK/IIM approach is the path we should
follow.
When the charter is reworked, I think it should be very narrowly
focused so that the working group is to refine and address issues of
the soon-to-be released draft.
