It's not just NGOs that are seeing that browser PKI is "the weakest link in
the chain".  I was recently told of someone at a law workshop in which the
topic of browser PKI and DigiNotar came up.  In their words, "this was a
roomful of people who couldn't tell you what SSL did, but they'd heard of
DigiNotar".  That's a level, and type, of exposure that you really don't want
to get to.
