Actually, in addition to the last link I gave,
http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.tech.crypto/browse_thread/thread/31fe9768dcb00b2c/7fab610c48b40a9c?#7fab610c48b40a9c
has a link to the entire thread (which includes a couple more
questions and answers).

http://is.gd/n9o4 is a short redirect to that URL.
