 Handle multiple hostnames (multiple user IDs?) when generating host

+Work out the details (and describe a full use case) for assigning a
+   REVOKER during monkeysphere-server gen_key -- how is this set?  How
+   do we export it so it's available when a second-party revocation is
+   needed?
+
+Actually enable server hostkey publication.
+
+Streamline host key generation, publication, verification.  See
+   doc/george/host-key-publication for what dkg went through on
+   2008-06-19
+
+Ensure that authorized_user_ids are under as tight control as ssh
+   expects from authorized_keys: we don't want monkeysphere to be a
+   weak link in the filesystem.
+
+Consider the default permissions for
+   /var/lib/monkeysphere/authorized_keys/* (and indeed the whole
+   directory path leading up to that)

 Make sure alternate ports are handled for known_hosts.
