Apart from that, I completely approve of TPMs being implemented as
PKCS#11 modules.  This TPM-enabled feature will probably reach the
mass users; it offers clear advantage over storing privates keys on a
disk.

One problem with smart cards is that users may not understand them.
It is a piece of hardware that they need to use properly in order to
preserve security.  As we see from previous messages in this
discussion thread (blindly accepting self-signed certificates), users
do not properly execute security-sensitive actions.
