Good show. One thing that has been getting under my skin since the
Wassenaar announcement is that a lot of us seem to be going along with
a 56-bit keylength. I sure as hell won't. I use 3DES because I am
conservative, and I trust DES. Give me a fast 256-bit cipher that I can
trust (AES winner), and I'm there. Small RSA keys? Ahem. No.

Sounds like a good idea. Seems like a generic source-reformatter would
do this though. I'm thinking Emacs.
