Do we really want to relive the DTCP disaster again?  Ever since that 
backlash, I'm afraid to implement anything that doesn't say Draft.

Has the Council opinion changed?  If so, I wasn't aware of it.  Real 
experience is apparently overrated.  Time for everyone to go read some mail 
about File Transfer in late 2002.

And Tkabber _still_ does DTCP based File Transfer instead of Bytestreams.  Yay 
for standards.

jep-secure doesn't even have a JEP number yet, hence the name.  It's still 
stuck in the council/jep-editor void (for 3 months now).  Surely an 
implementation is not expected.
