+   always removed from known_hosts file.  Ask user to lsign the host
+   key?
 
 Handle multiple hostnames (multiple user IDs?) when generating host
    keys with gen-key.
 
+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
+
+Streamline authorized_user_ids setup (including question of where
+   authorized_user_ids files should go).  See
+   doc/george/user-id-configuration 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.
+
 Make sure alternate ports are handled for known_hosts.
 
 Script to import private key into ssh agent.

+setting up authorized_user_id configuration on george was also more

+people's home directories?)
