Isn't this just a basic certificate reseller setup, like Entrust had with
SSL.com already?

"Use our system to order their certs" is generally how it works because
"our web front end" is the only real value that can be added by a reseller
(other than rolodex, I suppose).

I entirely approve of scrutiny being applied to Entrust's relationship with
certificate issuance, but I think this matter seems pretty clearly settled
at this point until there is any actual evidence of misuse or imminent risk.
