Why not offer a good default?
Even if you don't want the nicknames: I read it that the nickname
facility exists. Why not leave the backend intact? If you change your
mind (or somebody else does), you can easily readd them.

That's just fine for me. I assume you want to extent that and have it
displayed directly in e.g. the status bar? Do we have enough place for
that, considering that the Taskbar might merge with the status bar in
the future?
I don't see that the issuer were very important for the user. Why would
Joe User want to trust a cert issued from VeriSign more than one issued
from TC Trustcenter or one from a (non-standard) CA that he explicitly
accepted? Or am I missing something?
