But the browser still needs to "support" the certificates. Given the somewhat 
fragile state of client certificate authentication (keygen removal, "x509 UX is 
ugly" etc), maybe it might be useful to have a baseline profile for client 
certificates as well? What if I used 512 bit RSA keys? MD5? Shall a browser or 
some other client side system intervene? Drawing a reasonable line with 
reasonable dates might be helpful to the community as a whole.
