Peter, what about the not-insignificant issue that CAcert is not a
default trusted root in Windows?  I just tried to find a page that
listed every CA that Microsoft "trusts", but for the life of me can't
find it.  (Justin, do you have that URL?)  CAcert needs to sign up for
that program.  Otherwise you are damning Aunt Tillie to installing
root certificates or worse, prompting them to accept untrusted
certificates.
