Womble, I like your idea and I wish you success. But, it is now constructive feedback time. :)

meowtaxi is sooo right! Seriously, I was going to post the same thing. Sure, I expected an SSL error when I manually switched to the https version of your url, but the specific SSL error I ended up getting reflects really, really poorly on an organization that aims to become a CA.

I did check your FAQ first for some mention of the site's current SSL woes...
