Certainly, this information can be transferred efficiently (XML or
whatever). But, there is no clear conceptual mechanism to: i) ensure the
veracity of these four statements, or, ii) ensure that I even have the
right to make these statements to you in the first
place</blockquote><br>
Remember iii) ensure that these statements were made by me.<br><br>
Example:<br><br>
<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">'The earth is flat and has four
corners, with one being in Newfoundland'</blockquote><br>
It will be difficult to get any assurance of the veracity of this
statement, and a waste of time for us to think about whether i even have
the right to make this statement to you, but i do want to make this
statement and enable you to ensure that it was made by me.<br><br>
