- I can agree with your reasoning, but I do *not* think that
- sci.crypt.theory is a good name, since that name would exclude a lot
- of technical questions that aren't really about theory but about
- implementation.

- On the other hand, sci.crypt.research is not perfect either, but it
- has a precedent in sci.math.research, comp.compression.research and
- the proposed sci.physics.research.
