Re: goals review, anyone?

   There is a great need for the certification hierarchy described in
   the PEM standards.  I don't understand why anyone would want to
   remove that feature just so PEM can provide functionality that is
   already provided for by deployed applications.

I don't think that this is quite right.

There is clear need for a certification hierarchy (or network) -- but
it's not at all clear whether the top-down hierarchy in PEM is the
right one, as it appears to have impeded the deployment of PEM.
