UI:
- The email address is not listed for my own certs. Email address is 
essential - multiple addresses per person are normal. I won't be able to 
distinguish my certs, if I can't see the address.
- Move the Secure Mail pane to Mailnews section (out of Security). This 
is more logical and where I would search for them.
- Move the SSL pane to Navigator section, assuming it applies to the 
browser only and not e.g. snews.
- Merge Certificate Manager and Device Manager. I don't see a need to 
separate them. Merging keeps the menu smaller.

Tasklist:
- What is "UTF-8 to UNICODE conversion - 1 day"? I'd bet, we have such a 
function already.

Roadmap:
- I'd call the libraries psm* (e.g. psmpki). PIP only makes sense as 
name for a temporary project. Compare iip (IMAP in process), bip 
(bookmarks in process), ....


Some questions about PSM 1.x, trying to understand why you created 
(out-of-process) PSM 1.x in the first place:
<http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/psm/history.html>

>     * In the past, crypto-savvy customers often asked Netscape to fix 
>       bugs or add security features outside the normal Commnicator 
>       release sechdule. The PSM model gave the development team more 
>       freedom to act quickly without waiting for the next Communicator 
>       release.
>       
Did you actually deliver PSM to these customers?

Well, Mailnews is working just fine :).
