And you wouldn't have to do that if you issued your own?
In the email that contains the 'test' certificate is a link/url that
outlines where to go to get the 'root ca' for the browser.
Since this is 'test' certificate, signed a certain way, the "test root" CA
isn't automatically included in any release of NS or IE.
Actually, if you think about it, whether you use your own self signed CA or
a test ID from Verisign, and don't install the 'test' root CA, the end user
still gets the same error message, something about the issuer not being
trusted...

And:
* The root certificate for the test ids doesn't come with your
average browser and therefore needs to be installed 'manually' by
visitors to your site to prevent the warning messages from occurring.
May as well use your own CA.
