I am amazed by how unashamed you applaud movement, nay, rush towards "mixing application and transport" and "mixing application and crypto" considering that our entire 50 year experience in computing has consistently shown that to be The Worst Idea Ever, no matter how many times people try it. Given the current state of affairs, I find that course even more baffeling in light of IETFs snobby "We don't do APIs" attitude, which is not going to make it any easier for the people who will be writing the applicryptotransications. >I think the question for our working group is how we want to engage with >all this change - [...] May I suggest: "Recoil in Horror" ?
