Hi, Sylvain.
Thank you for all the follow-up documentation.  I definitely agree that using 
the *_ANY option allows for downgrade attacks and makes security 
weak/non-existent.  But that's the trouble with having to support legacy while 
also trying to push ahead, isn't it?

That's the same reason I'd like to use it -- and the same "kudos to you for 
hacking in".  I'm more interested in preventing the casual "hacker", rather 
than trying to prevent the next infrstructure take-down. :-)
