Re: Series of minor questions about OpenPGP 4

Hello WG and Peter.


I'm constantly following what's happening here on the WG's list and also
gnupg's lists, well at least more or less.

I've already read most of your threads and I wonder whether you can read
my minds or so ;) ... well we seem to have at least many common ideas.

I'm especially happy with your suggestions in "improving" the usage of
User Attributes =)

We'll I wouldn't consider myself to be skilled enough, too. At least I
haven't looked into to the process of writing ID's yet.

But I'd have a strong interest in doing so :-) of course only if the WG
supports this.

I should sue you, what?! ;-P

See above.
I'm currently on some official trip (I miss it being a student ;) ) but
when I'm back I could put together a list with the ideas the were
discussed here. Of course everybody may add topics.

Afterwards the WG could discuss which points would find broad support in
a future RFC, wouldn't break backward-compatibility too much (or even
better not at all), et cetera.

I think it's much easier to split things up a little bit and discuss
each point on its own, than writing a new draft-RFC that contains all
the ideas presented here. Especially because probably not everything
will find support ;)



In the meantime: Happy discussing =)
