This is true, the CA initialization was developed using javascript files

is any problem with that.

What is the problem with that ? Either if you have organizations which have
adopted Win+IE you can always ask them for a single system (the CA) to be

I agree, that's why we do not exclude adding support for IE. Also if you
can have the organization to buy Smart Cards (with RSA chip) integrated
with the browser you have a quite secure environment also using IE...
