I agree 100% and had posted almost this exact statement to bugzilla before 
being directed here for discussion. The question of whether or not they can (or 
should) charge fees for this is essentially entirely seperate from the issue at

They have failed to revoke certificates reasonably known to be compromised and 
this is in clear violation of the Moaillz CA Policy.
