Agreed - in fact, I would go so far as to say that very few legitimate reporting
organizations are going to print the key in their newspaper, encyclopedia, radio story, or
magazine story. They're going to say that the key was disclosed, but they're not
going to say what it is.
I think that's a good model for us to go by.

I presume there's no reason all the same not to mention it in the HD-DVD
article?
As explained earlier, it is perfectly easy to write an informative and
useful article about the topic without ever feeling the need to quote
the string in question.
