Peter, Matthew:

Why are there copies of the time stamp and thread id sent in the clear?

I would think that having in-the-clear copies would raise some security concerns.

Is there any particular reason why the time stamp inside the object to be signed is simply pre-append to the stanza instead of including it in an element of stanza?

Regards, Kurt
