OK, seeing as 5-days this hasn't raised too many eyebrows, I've
fixed up this page:

OK, note added, thanks.

One question:  Is there a list of NSS user applications anywhere?
Incomplete is fine.



Comments welcome!

For me, the story seems now to be at "done, documented, maintain."

Interesting as the discussion has been, there appears no better way
to resolve the tension between PKIX/NSS and CA needs other than by
doing a manual/human/business process, so this is "as good as it gets."

Thanks to all.
