Mozilla quibbles every time you go to a site that falls under the MIT CA
if you haven't accepted the MIT site cert yourself. It says, "I don't know
who this CA is, do you want to proceed?" Says it a lot.

OTOH, the IS cert page does not spell out that getting the site cert will
help deal with this. It just says "if needed," without saying when or why
it might be needed. (That IS feedback that needs to go to the page
maintainers. I'll see who I can bug.)

Eh. I don't care which page users are referred to particularly. I'm happy
with any of the proposed wordings that have been used in this go-round,
and I retire from the discussion. Sorry about all the pain, Chris.
