Re: Purpose of PEM string

William,

If you check you'll see that I've said authentication has a definite
role. Trust is, in my opinion, even more valuable. Neither is essential
for every single message. Both currently have a higher priority in PEM
than privacy.

No one has asked whether the people here want the PEM standard as it is
now. You may want to do so. I simply asked "What's most important?". The
answer was privacy.
