Lucky,
You've asserted several times recently that KR is not the best way to allow
corporate access to plaintext. Unfortunately, if you posted it, I missed
the description of the alternate model you have in mind. Could you please
post it--I'm in the middle of managing this situation in a real-world
context, so any concrete information (implementations, papers) would help me.
Thanks,
--Pat
