I agree it is not widely used and that is something of a problem. HP did implement it for the ESpeak product though that is not widely used either ...] However, the attraction of SDSI is it's decentralized nature - you don't need global PKI to make it work. So it could be bootstrapped up for specific applications relatively easily. I guess I was just wondering whether some of the SDSI design principles could be reused in developing semantic web trust layer demonstrations. Just a passing thought. Dave
