HIGHLIGHT

Capstrings are a convenient way to broadcast basic information about remailers.
But there are many more "other" informations about remailers which deserve to be known.

So far
1) People willing such information to be known about themselves had no other choice
but to send it at random: websites, messages in apas, remops list...
2) People willing to know/collect/compare/analyse/redistribute such information
had no other choice but to
 listen all the time
 find the various places where information was scattered
 send private mails to beg for information
 manually collect and process the information they wanted to gather
The result was largely inefficient, inaccurate and labor-intensive
There are too little "competitors" on such collection of MetaInformations

The purpose of this paper is to
  offer a few examples
  define general guidelines
     (and have them accepted ASAP)
  propose a framework for a scalable system
     (demonstrate the feasibility + scalability) 
     (and have it discussed for fine-tuning)
  propose detailed procedures for issues of current interest
     (and have them temporarily enforced,
      for experimentation
      pending the discussion on the framework)
