Withdrawal of pending requests

[John Messing <jmessing@law-on-line.com>]

I hereby withdraw all pending requests.

After having been corrected regarding the technology of the pending
deliverable, I think that the notary container offers the promise of
simultaneous, co-existent use of otherwise incompatible encryption
technologies by several notaries relating to a single or related set of
transactions.

As I understand it, the symmetric key profile also includes a novel
approach that may allow for leveraging known and proven access control
methods to the stored symmetric signature keys. 

While much still remains to be done, the approach has much to recommend
it and nothing I can presently see to doubt it.

On a personal note, I want to thank all involved in this effort for the
patience and commitment shown. If I have caused consternation or upset
to anyone, I sincerely apologize. I am grateful to Arshad for having
proven me wrong about the technology issue, because in so doing he
proved me right about my initial assessment of him, and the ultimate
correctness of my recommendation of him to the group as consultant for
this work. 

I would like to say that I have never been happier to have been proven
wrong in my life, but with such a long and stellar record, it might not
be entirely accurate...

Best regards to all.
