I (MS) already do it, I have no issue with doing it at all and never have. I
intend to ship strong security. MS is 100% committed to security for our
customers. I have already demonstrated it in beta products (that I know you
have access to and that most of the active WG members also have access to)

All,
I fully agree with Keith. I have said it before, and I repeat it again, it
is now time for the members of the IPP WG to start behaving like an IETF WG.
Don't waste more of our time on non-Internet scenarios.
Let us focus on how to PROVIDE the required security features rather than
fighting them!
I know that Paul and others are fully capable of doing that if you want to.
