I knew someone was going to ask :)

Unfortunately I do not.  Honestly, I think the need was so obvious to folks
involved, who are working on real messaging systems, that there wasn't much

privacy-preserving DS [draft-robert-mimi-delivery-service] have come to
agree that PublicMessage is the right answer as the default.
