Or, reminiscent of zphone, there could be a 'verification code' which  
is a hash of the link encryption keys (one listed for every peer);  
which would show up as the same on both ends if there is no MITM. This  
short code could then be verified out-of-band, or *perhaps* cleverly  
in-band (as zphone does; can a MITM simulate your voice?/videochat).
