Right. But he asked "either digitally signed messages, or encrypted messages
(where the message itself is encrypted ..."
So I believe what I gave him is adequate for now :)
And "is being resolved" ... well, we haven't even decided if that format is
the one we'll use... it probably is, but it's not like it has been even
formally approved as a draft protocol yet, let alone supported by the major
clients... so it's still a little ways off.
