Re: [Trust-router] Considering delaying BOF Request

Hi David,

When we talk about Trust Router, we often get push-back along the lines of
"that's a valid use case, but technology Foo already supports that".

This is often true if you're willing to apply technology Foo in a
non-typical fashion. So you could, for example, employ X509 in ways that
mimic Trust Router's CoIs. These may not be particularly practical, but
nonetheless it could in principle be done.

So -- playing Devil's Advocate -- could I ask why you are interested in
Trust Router as opposed to some other trust technology?
