A couple of minor worries: first, if the initiator doesn't need to prove
that it knows the responder's ID in the first message (as it currently
does in JFKi) then port scanning becomes easier. Second, if it's
possible to skip the verification step and just click OK, most people
will - how do we prevent this?
