The white paper is partially in response to a technical message from Ted Ts'o *on the Ident list* about the security added by Ident. The contents of the white paper are quite relevant to the current Ident spec. In particular, as pointed out by Chris Davis months ago, selective blocking is a perfectly sensible application, but it's prohibited by the Ident spec's auditing restriction. Several people have objected to the current security section: in particular, to the way in which it prohibits valid applications. You've singlehandedly squashed these objections. That may be how the NSA treats objections, but in the IAB standards process you're supposed to respond to objections on a technical level. Remember the word ``consensus''? Do you know what it means?
