Okay, it's late and I've only spent about an hour on this, but I've whipped up a quick piece examining this whole mess from VeriSign. I've only *brushed* the surface of the issues that this presents and it's already a pretty long piece already.
Questions, comments to me. Send your concerns to VeriSign :-)
