The petname ideas that ar currently on the table (as I understand
them) are:

- to display petnames (if present) as part of an identity signal,
  possibly taking over screen real estate otherwise taken up by site
  names derived from certificates or by a "no information known"
  message, keying off some information in the site's certificate;

- to enable users to create petnames as part of interactions during
  which they enter information about a site, e.g., bookmarking
  interactions which let them type in something *anyway*, or
  whatever petnaming interaction Tyler had in mind with his proposed
  text.

We decided at the face-to-face that PII-bar is not under
consideration for LC-June.
