This is why you have OpenSSL library... This is the only major external 
dependency you have to integrate, dropping much more problematic dependency 
of mozilla and NSS.

Well.. I hope you add the removal of Mozilla dependency into your roadmap, and 
remember me when you reach to the point when you start implementing that.

I don't!
Because of this I did not send a patch... :)

I won't do that, since I think it is wrong approach. I will be able to help 
dropping this 
dependency when you have resources for this.

I can help with this one.
But I rather see you have roadmap to dropping Mozilla first, so I will be able 
to 
provide you a full solution based on libxmlsec and OpenSSL. I will do this is 
stages 
(of course), first integrating new version into corrent codebase, then continue 
to the 
second stage.

It is just entering a new project, especially as large as Open Office, requires 
vast 
resource investment, even before the first line of code... So I need to know we 
are 
going to a direction I like... :)

Thank you for your offerings!
