  is there any?

  Or to be more precise, why (as an RIR customer) should I trust a
  commercial CA more than a RIR?

>randy

  I think what is happening here is a misunderstanding and/or an attempt
  to mix and match advantages, capabilities and technology of a
  hierarchical 3rd party trust system vs. a (PGP-like) web of trust
  approach.

  Wilfried.
