Don't mind me...

But every time I see this title, my brain initially processes it as "Donkey Identified Mail." Howard C. Berkowitz 17:03, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Careful there Howard, we're trying to be neutral. :>) This is one of those articles likely to bring some partisans to the discussion. The closer we get to specific methods, the more controversy we can expect. --David MacQuigg 17:16, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
I actually don't know the first thing about this method. But let's think about Donkey Identification. Wouldn't it be an appropriate certification that something is indeed approved by the U.S. Democratic Party? Couldn't we have Elephant Identified Mail? Howard C.

More seriously

The description confuses me a bit. Isn't secure DNS a subset of public key infrastructure, not an alternative? Yes, the primary purpose is to validate the domain information, but one can still get a certificate through DNSSEC, I thought. Howard C. Berkowitz 19:11, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
