mutual authentication... what a concept. is it really that rare?
Not really. It is widely used in protocols that didn't drink the PKI kool-aid. Skype, SSH, SOX, DigiCash, all use it, to name a few. And they did so more or less naturally following good design processes. A particularly indicative data point is SSH which offered both client-side keys and passwords, and the latter sort of fell by the wayside.
