Where are these being discussed? It's a response to an IETF draft, ergo
ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org is entirely appropriate. That Perens doesn't submit it
as an internet-draft in response just suggests lack of political nous.
Way to go on the selective quoting - I see you ignore the DRM point. Sheesh,
you can't even give a pointer to the refutations you apparently cite.
Don't you have anything substantial to say yourself, other than snarky
oneliners?

This is a political problem, not a technical problem. From a technical

worldwide http is pretty much the same as mandating secure encrypted email
worldwide - large failure modes, resulting in an inability to communicate.
Which is why use of secure email is not widespread.
I take it you haven't been reading the responses to Bruce's essay, or you would
have seen that these points have already been discussed and refuted.
