If I were to do something for mutual auth, that's a reasonable place. The biggest problem is controlling entry into the `good guys' group of authenticated entities. Who gets to say yeah/nay to people wanting to get in? At first its easy since there are no grey areas. I would be perfectly happy if entry was controlled by the conjunction of boyd, cross, and choate. I figure anyone that all three found acceptable would be pretty milktoast. Over time, it'll become harder but I'ld be happy with a single registry that contains certificates of good guys.
