It seems from everyone's comments that there is a desire/need to complete
this particular RFC, which makes sense.
I do think, however, that it would also make sense to eventually define an
encryption standard that has "Key-Privacy" built in. I think the norm
should be for the ciphertext not to reveal the receiver's identity. If
an application wishes to do so they can always tag the ciphertext with the
identity and an application that does not wish to do so is not forced to.
Anyway, if anyone has interest furthering this idea on a different venue
let me know.

I think we should leave it the way it is.
Sorry. I want to put this RFC to bed, and that means we have to stop making
tweaks.
