I'd be happy to support DANE in GnuGk, but the current lack of PKI
infrastructure should not serve as an excuse not to implement TLS at
all.

There are a lot of H.323 installations with a rather closed user group
that can happily live with their own private CA, except you can't get
any endpoints doing TLS at all...

Jan
