Assuming that SPKM-3 progresses.  But more importantly, you'll get all
GSS-API mechanisms (we'll probably get more GSS mechs over time,
starting with GSS bindings of DIGEST-MD5 or something of the sort), and
that's architecturally what you want: an hole to be filled by others,
that way you leave PKI to SPKM-3 without having to even mention it
(except as a REQUIRED mechanism, but I think it'd be hard to REQUIRE
anything other than Kerberos V at the moment).
