Agreed. From what I understand, all the CSI software does is get you a client-side SSL certificate. Once you have that certificate, you can export and import it anywhere. At least, I darn well hope so. I do believe they could implement the current system with the built-in functionality of browsers. I went to CAcert some months ago, and Epiphany was fully capable of generating its own client-side certificate, which it sent to CAcert for signing. I'd be surprised if IE, even IE6 didn't support it. They could still implement the current requirement that the security codes that they e-mail and post to you be provided before they sign the certificate...I think.
