[zeromq-dev] Documentation error for "ZMQ_CURVE_SERVER: Set CURVE server role"

[Pieter Hintjens]

/me thinks... indeed, the server doesn't need to know its own public
key since it never shares it nor uses it for encrypting/decrypting. Do
you think it's simpler for the user to always set both keys on all
CURVE sockets, or to know this distinction?
