Oh I was only speaking to the concept of handling multiple signatures, not the 
processing of a new crypto algorithm.

Google keep reporting <result>fail</result> for ed25519 signatures.  Ditto for
Comcast.  Yahoo say <result>permerror</result>, like Verizon.  Microsoft don't
even mention that selector...

It seems only (few) small servers dare implementing ed25519.

I don't understand why.  The meaning of signatures is not altered by the a=
tag, so updating a reputation system in order to accomodate a different
verification algorithm should only require a small, localized change.  Not a
staggering defeat.

What am I missing?
