A CA whose root certificate is not trusted in the vast majority of browsers
(face it, we have IE to worry about since we have Windows users) is pretty much
completely out of the question.  We need a cert that verifies automatically in
as many browsers as possible to reduce complaints about "Your cert isn't
verifiable!" or "Your cert needs to be signed by a more recognized CA!"
