Hi Mountie,
A service provider cannot specify *anything* regarding key protection
using Firefox.
Anders, I think Mountie was referring to "Crypto Service Provider" (CSP),
which is Microsoft's name for software modules that follow Microsoft's
alternative that is approximately equivalent to the PKCS#11 standard.

I thought the following line of Mountie
"the manual configuration is not so attractive for service provider"
referred to Firefox's inferior key generation concept. Although MSIE
absolutely also is crap, it does indeed allow a service provider (CA)
to set quite a bunch of parameters during key generation.
Sorry guys, but <keygen> will haunt you until it is finally replaced
with something that addresses post-1995 requirements :-)
