Even though there is a small amount of controversy surrounding the assurance process from CAcert (mainly due to Mozilla's refusal to include them because they haven't passed the same audit for which Thawte/Verisign and other "certificate vendors" paid) they are re-organising. Even without that re-organisation they have a perfectly good trust model. I realize that modifying and distributing Firefox is out due to licensing issues, but perhaps it's possible to distribute the CAcert root alongside it in an easy to install manner? Currently the process see CAcert's wiki[1] tends to put off casual users who could otherwise benefit.
