Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Incubation: Email Verification Protocol (Issue #1169)

dickhardt left a comment (w3ctag/design-reviews#1169)

@martinthomson do you think a simpler version to share an email for communication is worthwhile? 

If we build that, then people will use it to prove control of the email identifier regardless -- so would it not be better to protect the user's privacy in those scenarios? Or are you suggesting we not do the protocol at all because it makes it easier for users to provide their email for tracking?

wrt. disposable emails -- a browser could coordinate with an email provider to provide a signed token containing a disposable email address -- simplifying providing a privacy preserving communication identifier.
