As a matter of fact, Netscape does support DSA certs, but I never had a chance
to implement DH key exchanges. The only reason I didn't implement it was lack
of time. Every time we did schedules, I'd put it on the list; every time, it
would get knocked off the bottom by something else. The bottom line is that
there were no customers busting down our doors screaming that they needed DH,
so we didn't do it.
