The reason why I brought this to begin with is because this is what in fact
the *majority* of big PKI deployments (0.5M and up) using "soft certificates" 
do.

><keygen> is not one of the main problems.

I'm pretty sure that <keygen> will die in phones, where on-line provisioning
is not an esoteric "workaround", but rather more or less a *prerequisite*.

What's more. A "<keygen>++" would help much either.  You need a "P11++"
and a "Card++" as well.  Yes, you need "requirements", something the
HTML5 WG apparantly do not consider an issue :-)

Would you and Nelson like to bet on this?
I mean, could we come back in 5 years and see if <keygen> actually "lives"?

I plan to "kill" it next year already so I'm interested :-)
