(rest of long discussion of what a UA needs deleted)
The important point is that the DN in a certificate is supposed to be READ, n
ot
WRITTEN. People see really ugly X.400 OR names (Peter does have a way of rubb
ing
people's noses in this problem, although he is right), and they conclude that
they
don't want to have anything to do with such monstrosities. But "Joseph F. Wac
kerman"
<74071(_dot_)1564(_at_)CompuServe(_dot_)COM>, to name another of my
correspondents, isn't much
better. That's why he is just "Joe" in my personal address directory -- my co
mputer
is pretty good at looking up things by now.
I think the correct phrase here is "violently in agreement". My point was
exactly that you won't get this stuff to fly until you have all the support
for all this in at least 1 or 2 true "Killer App" UA's. Unfortunately, this
means you have a pretty nasty chicken-and-egg problem...
