Dear All, Although it is very inspiring to see the volume of messages on the public-webcrypto@w3.org mailing-list, I think some of this also reflects the lack of work with the actual use-cases. After the FPWD I urge the people that are interested in use-cases to outline how *they* interpret that the specification supports a particular use-case. I'm probably stupid, but I don't understand how the current (2012-08-19) draft could eliminate custom plugins of the kind used in Korea and Sweden. To do that you (IMO) must define what current plugins do, and how you by using JS/HTML5 code and WebCrypto could emulate that functionality. Some of the use-cases are also essentially undocumented like SSL VPN. Use-cases should describe 1) what's currently missing 2) desired/proposed new functionality. Use-cases should also be upgraded to reflect the current specification. I know that this has not been done with for example XML Dsig but XML Dsig is just a format. I'm prepared taking on the plugin use-case in case nobody else does. Thanx, Anders
