If successful, RedPhone Security's bid to standardize their
proprietary TLS authorization proposal would unleash a tidal wave of
litigation.    One need only look at the difficulties caused by
Rambus' promulgation of a proprietary memory standard to see what ugly
and wasteful consequences an analogous decision created.     Please
reject RedPhone Security's proposal in the name of preventing needless
litigation.     We all want engineers to get rich, not lawyers.
