Though aren't the most recent issues related to obtaining things other
than shared secrets?  The attacks against CAs recently haven't been to
perform financial attacks, they have been to get identity information,
which SRP isn't going to protect right?

I don't disagree that *most* attacks are about finances, but quite a
number are also about stealing other confidential information.
