Have I gotten this right?

1. Mozilla PKI client support (FF's TLS-client-auth, FF's signText and
TB's S/MIME), requires that the CA certificate is known and trusted
by the local client software?

If that is true I would consider it a major bug or at least a major nuisance
because there is no smart card standard AFAIK that requires the card
to contain anything but  EE certs and associated private keys.

2.Even if cards were equipped with the entire cert-path the user would
anyway have to edit trust or similar?

Particularly for FF, the point with such a requirement is counterproductive
since it makes the card non-mobile.
