If he has not clarified his position by tomorrow evening, I will set up some web pages explaining the situation and decrying Netscape's apparent position on key escrow (GAK). I have the quotes that L. McCarthy posted, and Jeff Weinstein's response. I have not been able to get the article off the server yet (possible all the cypherpunks downloading it?). Any other documents I should include?
I'm working on an "obnoxify" program to convert normal html documents into documents that look normal to non-netscape browsers, but are too painful to read with netscape (</BLINK>, <FONT SIZE=1>, etc.). I think tomorrow evening would be a good time to decide whether or not to distribute it.
The only problem with this approach is that this will bite other browsers that have started supporting the so-called "Netscape extensions". More than one person has coded the Netscape stuff into their pages because it gives the author more flexibility than the standard 1.0/2.0 standards. And there aren't many browsers out there yet that support 3.0.
