I must have missed this discussion. Or perhaps I saw it and forgot. ekr, are you still against this sort of thing? I think the new CFRG signature algorithms tying decisions together is a good argument for why we'd want this. If we believe this trend is to continue (and I hope it does. Ed25519 is a nice and simple interface), trying to decompose it all seems poor. David
