I strongly agree. Unfortunately Mozilla doesn't use openssl (or
gnutls), it uses nss which is from my understanding somewhat old and
crufty. So it would likely be a bit of an undertaking. I would hope
someone would step up to bat and add something like this, or port the
whole thing to something like openssl.
