Nathan, thank you again for those OTR insights.

Do you know if it will be possible in future to cryptographically sign
files using OTR?

I'll find OTR implementations much simpler to use, since key exchange
happens transparently to the user and automagically.

Maybe OTR can be someday used to do everything OpenPGP can do?
