I strongly believe PEM RFC 1422 is the nearest to our solution
(especially for e-commerce) than anything else. (Well, I have not
considered PKCS.) I think MIME-PEM (while a good idea to have MIME)
sets us back some and delays progress forward with PEM.
... but the MIME-PEM document goes to great lengths to assert that it is
*not* a replacement for RFC 1422. It is merely another way of doing so,
that happens to be more MIME-friendly. People are still free to use
1422, if they wish. Given this, do you still believe that it delays
forward progress of PEM?
