Hi there, The openpgp-mailnews-header defines a mechanism for senders to notify recipients of both their preferences (w.r.t OpenPGP keys) and the keying material to be used (e.g. keyid). dnsext-rfc2538bis defines a mechanism where keying material is stored within the DNS (e.g. OpenPGP). The overlap here is that users may wish to store their key in the DNS (via dnsext-rfc2538bis) and refer to them using openpgp-mailnews-header. Since openpgp-mailnews-header specifies using a URI to refer to the location, it would seem -- to me at least -- that there needs to be some kind of URI specification to allow you to refer to DNS resource records. Is there one already, or work underway to produce a DNS URI spec.? Cheers, Anand -- `When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, "This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know," the end result is tyranny and oppression no matter how holy the motives' -- Robert A Heinlein, "If this goes on --"
