IMO, Phil/PGP should simply present the standard to IETF for

Yeah, right on! They write it, we rubber stamp it without question.
Then they can advertise it as "IETF approved standard".
Sheesh.
Come to think of it why even bother with IETF standards, that would
dispense with inconveniences like having security flaws like CMR
exposed for what they are.
Though W. Geiger, Jon and a couple others are signalling quite well,
On the topic of CMR? You're kidding, right?
others have an enhanced noise level which seems to be subverting any
progress while others (i.e. RSA) manage to get their PR licks in on
other fronts. (Wonder if any posters are RSA stooges ...?)
Not that I noticed... but one wonders about PGP stooges... are you a
PGP stooge?
