*My* phrase?  I thought I learned that idea -- and that phrase -- from you!
Perhaps we came up with the phrase in conversation together.  In particular,
when I published (on my web site) in October 2001 the first version of "Names:
Decentralized, Secure, Human-Meaningful: Choose Two" [1], I cited your "Pet
Names Markup Language" [2], Mazieres and Kaashoek's "Self-Certifying File
System" (1998) [3], and Freenet (2000) [4].  I also wrote in the
acknowledgements: "Thanks to Mark Miller for teaching me about the important
distinction between self-authenticating and non-self-authenticating key-value
pairs and for helpful comments on an earlier draft of this article."
