Yes.

But we're all writing FIND proposals about the ideas.  I'll follow up  
on this in a week and a half, if I remember or am prodded appropriately.

I hear overlays are overrated.

Try:

It'ss a one-page (ish) position paper I scribbled up for the NSF next  
generation secure internet workshop that was held at CMU some time  
last year.  It's drafty, probably poorly thought out, and wasn't  
really intended for wide dissemination -- but I believe pretty  
strongly in what it says.

Caveat:  It has no answers, only questions, and a couple of  
philosophical design requirements about not breaking the beautiful  
things about today's Internet.  I'll start tossing answers at you  
next week.
