Ok - makes sense. No objections to a narrower focus when a path 
is planned for later growth.  

This does make the activity clearly an alternative PKI with
a distributed registration than a pure notary.  It is still a
registration model (versus full non-hierarchical), but 
more transparent.

MS Office (on MAC) in text mode. Will transfer to a new
