Make it able to be done by any arbitrary elisp function. From the point of
view of the NSA, having an external function or a DLL/script do the munging
is equivalent. It is still a 'hook' for some 3rd party to do the
encryption.
Technically, ssl.el is illegal. :)
Remember, the NSA made the NCSA Mosaic guys take out there PGP & HTTP
hybrid because they used an external process to deal with it.
