I will say this again in the meeting this afternoon, but for those of you not in Stockholm, I have a concern about coordination among a multiplicity of groups. For example, I see a gaping hole in this - authenticity, integrity, and access control. I do not beleve that all the problems have been solved, so it is merely a matter of applying existing technology, but even if that were true, or the problem were reduced to a state where that were true, it is in no one's agenda to do that. I bring this up not only because the suite of security problems need addressing, but also because they may be an example of major issues not addressed. I am concerned specifically about those aspects of an architecture which should not be add-ons after the fact, but should be part of the initial design. I don't have a particular ax to grind, but rather want to make sure that we don't do something that ends of useless or rejected by the community because it has gaping holes, by focussing ourselves on a narrow disjoined set of tasks.
