Oh dear, that's a potential naming conflict. Perhaps this is where the 
idea came from, as I have read about this Mushroom Project long ago. As 
this hardware project is not longer active, repurposing the name may be 
reasonable but I cannot say wityhout that authority. There are 2 layers, 
session & presentation, so perhaps 2 names are needed and the one 
project needs splitting. And there is the consensus issue. Perhaps I 
should use technical names and be done with it: SecureSession & 
CryptOCaps. Well, I will leave off changing again until agreed to names 
are established, as I don't know what to do about it, but I welcome 
suggestions...

Maelstrom, Mushroom, Crystalline & Phosphor, SecureSession & CryptOCaps, 
pther suggestions?

Robert
