I'll get back to the list with something tomorrow, can be useful in the BIP as an example anyway I guess. > Should we allow adding multiple signatures (from different instant > providers maybe in some different scheme of "instantness" that could be useful, although i wonder if it's possible to keep the BIP simple with such non immediately obvious use cases. > or maybe while transitioning to another PKI)? another PKI, not sure, I understand there are already somewhat weak industry schemes to revoke. I do wonder if there's any better and more "future proof" way. I'll think about it but for now I hope someone with more experience can share some insight.
