I completely agree that having Eliot and other interested parties work
on how technical details of CH would work for ssh is a good idea.

I also agree that having it be an appendix in the document is fine for
now.


I was hoping that Eliot would go forward in this direction; in my
original message ruling CH out of scope I aske Eliot to work with the
ssh document editor to see how CH might work.
