I can not forgive Adam he removed the DANE support from Chrome in spite of fact that he was the author of the draft standard http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/dane/
Why does Langley need your forgiveness for not supporting DANE? DANE is arguably worse than X.509 CAs.

It seemed to be our best attempt to get SSL for every website. CA-based certificates just won't cut it.

#27> "Pond seeks to prevent leaking traffic information against everyone except a global passive attacker." My favorite line in the article. It's a nice nod to the fact that this Achilles heel is an issue that he is aware of / takes seriously.
Contrasted with the "forward": |Note: recent events have lead to these topics being in the news quite often in recent weeks. However, Pond is not a reaction to those events - it was started nearly a year ago. Traffic information, of course, isn't the whole conversation, so his wit is appreciated to make light air of the situation, but at the same time he's quite serious about this little project.

Good to know. I knew that I needed to do it, but I'll be sure to add support for this prior to Go 1.2. (The TLS stack doesn't support renegotiation at all, so it's not vulnerable, but a client can't know that unless it echos the extension in question.)
Ah, you're using the Go TLS package? That makes sense ;-). As it turns out the latest version of Firefox still connects to servers which don't indicate secure renegotiation; the parent poster caused the problem by mucking around with the TLS settings in about:config.
