Put differently: It is not correct to view WebTrust as conformity
assessment.

Does that make it easier?

Right, I think we're still talking past eachother. Certification is one of
*two* ways in which CAs can participate in the Root Inclusion Program.

Certification / Accreditation, as a model, *only* apply to the ETSI
framework. They do not apply to the WebTrust framework. It is not correct
to treat WebTrust as a certification scheme or a conformity assessment
scheme.

Does that make it clearer?
