    ---- Included message:

    We have had mountains of discussion on the consequences of evaluating
    the originator of a message 25 years after it was signed. This
    age-limited published address is a wonderful example of where
    addressing schemes (which inevitably change due to scaling needs and
    innovation) are inappropriate for certification.

The question is whether the ID was valid then and/or whether I can get away
with claiming it wasn't me.  In effect, using the email address as the id 
requires
that a time-stamp be associated with it.

A different problem is trying to correlate two ids as referring to the same 
person,
e.g., dcrocker(_at_)udel-relay with 
dcrocker(_at_)mordor(_dot_)stanford(_dot_)edu, but my own guess is
that that's a bogus task.
