RE: Major comments on OCSP (and LDAP Sec: msg#00296ietf.x509
I am quite mystified by all this talk of going on holiday with bicycles powered by 747 engines. Is X.500 the 747 engine or the bicycle? Last time I flew in a 747 the engines were made by Rolls Royce, and moreover airplane engines are like car engines. You can buy the same chasis with more than one engine and the same engine is sold in more than one chasis. You chose your engine with respect to your needs. Similarly when I went on holiday this summer I chose to drive my car 2,500 miles rather than be herded into a 747 like cattle. If the transport analogy was valid and the assertion that X.500 was the only solution was true we would all be using public transport. Phill |
