The concern with WEI proposal is that it's going to be server enforced. Basically, the server will require browsers to be signed and will refuse to talk to ones it doesn't recognize the signature for. This will mean that you'll only be able to talk to such servers using a browser that's approved by whoever distributes these certs. This is a great explanation of the whole scheme.
