Nelson, thanks! Amir, check the middle block, the old
Netscape code has CA logos *and* subject logos, so it
seems we are on the right track.

Ian, if you look at those functions (even if you're not a programmer)
I think you'll find them revealing.

WOW! That's cool! I tried the about: in FireFox and got nothing...
better than crashing I suppose. A bit further down it goes into
a lot of Fortezza code and spook talk ... maybe that's the reason.
Nothing like a good conspiracy to start the weekend off.
Just kidding.
Thanks,
