Hi Dimitris.

I'm primarily interested in hearing about plans (or the lack of plans) 
for using these algorithms with Server Authentication certificates, but 
I'm also (secondarily) interested in hearing about plans (or the lack of 
plans) for using these algorithms with other types of publicly-trusted 
certificate (e.g., Code Signing and S/MIME certs).  That's why I didn't 
drop public at .

Maybe I can't ask that secondary question until after the Code Signing 
and S/MIME WGs have been chartered.
