The point I was trying to make when I started the thread was not so much to
ask whether they took place as to whether they could be improved and made
more useful if they were recognized as distinct events with a specific set
of endorsement attributes.
I agree with Jon and others that the existing practice is not exactly
ideal. But I think that we could do better.
In particular, I was thinking of key ceremony as being potentially a means
of spreading the use of strong crypto beyond ultra-techy communities. To
doctors, lawyers etc.
Such groups would probably require (and pay for) the services of a compere
to run the process. If it was appropriately designed it can become part of
the social mingling.
