Seems illogical to me we need more free CAs not less and I do agree about the extortionism especially on EV. If a web designer only tests if one browser works on one OS without a chaining issue then does he really care and is he a fool that needs teaching anyhow. >> I have to agree on that.

A cacert certificate or a self-signed >> certificate on a personal web site is one web site more that does that >> kind of training. Or to check if they are on the right domain? Xombrero caching of cert changes and warnings is useful in the terrible climate for those who know what to check. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
