I was told that one of the reasons SSL took off was because Visa and/or MC
told merchants they would "for the time being" treat SSL as card-present,
in terms of fraud penalties, etc. If this is true (anyone here verify?
My source is on the list if s/he wants to name themselves), then SSL/SET
is an interesting example of betting on both sides.
