-Key discovery in email has been kicked around a bunch, but no
reasonable proposals yet. Doesn't seem that hard.
-Messaging might be premature to discuss, as there are various
approaches, but we should think about it.
-There has been talk of PGP refreshing, but I don't know if that
happened/is being worked on
-Much of the work on better SSH has been ignored in standards: would
be nice to see some things adopted (useable PKI, etc)
-Anonymity remains untouched.
