Why enhance it by using another name, already in use, that refers
to a similar*, but competing set of standards?
Well, at least in part because I think that some things about the
Privacy Enhanced Mail standard suck big time.
Do I think that I'll actually cause it to be changed simply by
stealing the acronym? Of course not.
Do I get any pleasure from the idea that this could potentially muck
up the works a bit? Sure.
