Sounds like they bought something that wasn't fit for purpose.  If the
customer isn't able to comply with the requirements of the WebPKI, they
shouldn't be using it.  Whether that mistaken purchase is the fault of
the subscriber (through a lack of due diligence) or the CA (through
misrepresentation) is something for those parties to work out between
themselves, but is *absolutely* not something that is relevant to
considerations of trustworthiness.
