Peter:

We need to make it easier to get certificates, and then we need to make it
easier for others to find those certificates.  I'm willing to work on both of
these.

What about Ian Grigg's GETSMIME proposal from many years ago?  It doesn't
really get any simpler than that, and it's something that anyone (up to and
including my cat, if she figures out email) can use:

I had not seen this paper before.  It looks very straightforward.

It seems pretty easy to combine with RFC 4387:

        Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Operational Protocols:
        Certificate Store Access via HTTP. P. Gutmann, Ed.. February 2006.

Has RFC 4387 seen much implementation?
