Good and Great... BUT many, many countries don't allow _any_ crypto, France for example. How will they remain a part of global information willage with this kind of stoneage attitude.
It would seem that with automatic, inevitable progress in computer science, the users of such advanced computer science will automatically, inevitabely, become outlaws in their own countries, including the founding (US) fathers of new IPxx :) Cheers...
