The problem is, that these ``reasonable'' governments are bullied by
someone into ``changing'' their minds. (Just read the comments from the
finish government.)

But happilly, it seems that some Danish diplomat botched it for the EU :)
(Because he signed without the agreement without authorization by his
 government or parliament, Danemark will have to object to these sad
 international aggreement in the EU commission, which will lead to a
 rejection on federal level. And imposing such crypto restriction on
 national level is quite surely against the EU ``constitutional'' law,
 which enshrines free trade ;) )

Not a good idea. digicool is located in the most liberated country of the
world. So it's much better not to have buildin  crypto, much better to
use external tools, like:
Apache-SSL
rsync/ssh
CVS/ssh

As you notice, most of these prefer to work with filesystem trees ;)

Basically yes ;)
I'd just have to clean it up a bit. Additionally, at the moment it's not
that cool. (But it allows to publish Bobo objects basically by adding one
line to the source ;) )

Sad that this one got lost one the actual administration (and previous
ones). :(
