Just in case somebody still believes that Firefox's and HTML5's <keygen> has 
any smart card utility except for a handful of enthusiasts....

That on-line provisioning of PKI hasn't become a "real" standardization item 
(HTML5 WG didn't even bother with specifying requirements...) is because the 
primary funders of standardization in this space (governments and banks), do 
not regard on-line provisioning to end-users as a serious alternative.  IMO 
they are entirely correct!

However, this is not cast in stone but it is anything but simple to change; my 
current plans include an eight-pass (!) protocol as well as considerable 
reprogramming of smart cards:

Although this project is just a hobby and thus runs slow as hell, it is still 
faster than nothing which is currently the only known challenger :-)

Cheers,
