Yes, but it's about time we do something about that. Do we *exactly know 
why* it is such a failure?

People are using the internet, they are typing sensitive information into 
textareas and send them off, and on the other hand "/usr/bin/gpg" is 
installed on almost every server, why can't we make Johnny Average use it?

With the Web Encryption Extension I am going down that road.
