Paul,

You are right, we will have to publish as informational eventually. In fact,
this informational publication can be used as a sword to push the IETF WG into
working fast for a "standard alternative" to SSL, and is thus a good move. We
should work at removing all these delays from our process, not try to insert
more of it.

As for the "customers don't read disclaimers" argument, I find it bogus.
Netscape customers are likely to hear from Netscape's competition. We may
expect that the competition, and then the press, can use the argument.

The Internet was not invented as a tool to restrict the flow of information!
