I mentioned time stamping, but I'm waiting to see the results of DSS
timestamping and how they will integrate hash linking before 
considering it more seriously.  I saw a recent paper presentation 
describing both conceptual and implementation problems with the IETF 
PKIX timestamping draft and thy mentioned that DSS timestamping is based
on that IETF draft, but a la XML, so it would have similar problems. I've 
not gone more deeply into this yet to have my own opinion.
