Well, this could be good, anyway we do not plan to be a certificate provider,
we do develop a software that makes everyone able to run their own CA at
no cost. I've heard it is very hard to get a certificate integrated into
most popular browsers' root - you have to pay for it... :-(

Well... I know many thinks Netscape request's of trust scares users: I think,
at countrary, one should alway have the possibility of trusting or not a CA
when he finds a certificate issued for the first time ... Users should be
tought not to trust any certificate only because it is in the browsers'
root dir... :-D
