As I understand the meta-policy and policy (both still proposed
drafts), your lacking a WebTrust or any other external audit means
that the Mozilla Foundation would have to perform an assessment of
your practices before including your CA certificate in the Mozilla
database.  That will depend on the availability of Foundation
resources -- staff, time, and money.  Note that the latter (money)
cannot come from you since the policy says: "The Mozilla
Foundation will not charge any fees to have a CA's certificate
distributed with Mozilla."

I use Mozilla as my Web browser because I want a browser that 
complies with Web standards.  See <http://www.mozilla.org/>.
