(BTW, I predict that the tainted term "key escrow" is now gone from the official lexicon. I haven't seen the Clipper IV proposal, but I surmise that the baggage the term "key escrow" carries means that some more benign-sounding term will be used in the final proposal. Something like "Key Recovery System." You heard it here.)
I agree, and hope so. "Key Recovery," while not as Orwellian-sounding as "GAK," is a step on the path to honesty WRT the English language, though it's important to continually point out, as Tim did in his post, that *access* -- rather than just recovery -- is obviously what Mr. Freeh wants. I'd count this likely change in terminology as a "cypherpunk victory," albeit a very small and certainly a very hard-fought one.
