in all this discussion about how well it would work and ways around it,
I think I've missed the problem that people are trying to solve.
I want more people to actually use cryptography. I don't phrase it as
a problem, with it's implicit value judgement, but rather as what I want.
isn't it ironic that privacy advocates are suggesting manditory
loss of anonimity (which is what forced signing is).
The first appearance of a key is anonymous. The second and later are
pseudonymous. Even mandatory signing (which is not what is being
proposed) does not eliminate anonymity.
