Following up on the discussion on XML based PKI, those interested can
read about the proposal we announced this morning together with
webMethods and Microsoft.

The intention is to develop the specification further as an open
standards in a standards body that is generally considered a good fit.

PKIX/SPKI/PGP rather than being a direct competitor.
