To be fair, this isn't something I'd consider a "workstation" feature. Maybe
it's needed for particular users, but I can hardly see designers, or developers
having to use that feature for business banking.

Now that epiphany/Web isn't using the certificate storage in Gecko (I'm guessing
separate from the system-wide NSS store), then you could use a system-wide
certificate manager. In fact, I'm pretty sure that Seahorse already does that, no?
