Not presuming to answer for Randy, just for myself: This follows one of the typical failure-modes of technical legislation, which is that it contains quite a few good ideas (cryptographic signatures should be deemed to fulfill the role of signatures, nonrepudiatable electronic delivery should be deemed to constitute delivery, etc.) which are re-worded in less-specific "more accessible" language by lawyers, chopped into very small bits, mixed and blended until uniformly unrecognizable, and allowed to ferment until twelve times larger. These things typically create a bit of a baby-with-the-bathwater conundrum for people who think they know what _should_ be done, since many of the things that _should_ be done are in fact buried in the legalese, and starting over from scratch with the same seeds would, like as not, yield a very similar bloated bloated end-product, with another year or two wasted in the mean-time. Which all comes down to the old maxim: you can't legislate stupidity out of existence. Or, perhaps, legislation, by its very existence, brings some stupidity into existence. Less is more. -Bill
