   Chained or transitive trust can be used to determine whether incoming
   communication is likely to be desirable or not.  We can build a
   chained trust relationship by introducing friends to out friends, for
   example.  We propose mechanisms for discovering trust paths and
   binary responsive trustworthiness.  The trust paths are based on a
   chain of trust relationships between users, a user and a domain, and
   domains.  We apply this model to relatively low-value trust
   establishment, suitable for deciding whether to accept communication
   requests such as emails, calls, or instant messages from strangers.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
