Actually, I'm currently writing a draft spec for Wouter and George and
everybody else to hack on.  I'll aim to check it in tonight or
tomorrow.  It should be fairly uncontentious; I'll try not to include
anything we haven't already discussed.

This won't be anything near the final draft, I hope.  We still have a
lot to discuss, a bunch of problems to solve, and a bunch of peer review
to solicit.  The point of the spec is to give would-be reviews a target.

In the long term, sure.  Right now, we're just trying to get a
well-defined, secure protocol.  We're still far away, on both counts.
