well, the adequacy of an evelope depends upon what it is carrying.

we do need to have some (only some) discussion of the pieces of security
information being carried...
In addition, I'm a bit concerned about distinguishing between
theory and fact. Theory is a collection of ideas that are instantiated in
some people's heads. Facts have code and operational experience to back
them up. One of the long-standing sources of difficulty in debating
between technical alternatives often is that one group has solid
operational experience and the other claims a problem is solved when, in
fact, it has only been solved on a piece of paper.
All of this is my own way of saying that I, personally, would have
some interest in a bit of coverage on the key management issues, as they
pertain to current or near-term deployment.
One of the questions I intend to ask all proponents -- and probably
repeatedly -- is how deployment is going and what the difficulties are?
