Pardon me, I got a little bit carried away.

But, are you *really* prepared to openly discuss the problems with classical PKI
versus Thin PKI, S2ML, OBI and 3D-SSL?

If so, please comment the section of my posting mentioning banks, as this is something practically
all in this list have some knowledge with.  As this is a very complex subject (my usual
Thin PKI seminar is 2-3 hours!), it is though very important to stay exactly on the track,
otherwise the discussion will deteriorate in no time at all.  Unfortunately I don't think
that any of the main forces behind S2ML, OBI or 3D-SSL are interested in 
"The war of the PKIs", but we'll see.   And in the same way as with PKIXML, I
care more about "marketability" and "deploymentability" than if something is the
"most secure solution in the world".  Sweden actually had the most secure solution in
the world: The SEIS electronic ID-card.  Unfortunately it is fairly useless and expensive,
and therefore very few have it.
