  It is not a new observation that the original threat modelling had flaws you

You forgot to mention what the SSL/browser PKI threat model actually is, as
first pointed out by some guy called Grigg:

  SSL/browser PKI is defined to be the solution.  
  The threat is defined to be whatever the solution addresses.

(I've termed it "The Inside-Out Threat Model".  Unfortunately quite common in
computer security).
