 If I understand correctly, DANE (<http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung
 /DANE-Bund-sichert-nach-Mail-Transport-auch-Webservice-mittels-DANE-
 ab-2215929.html>, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS-
 based_Authentication_of_Named_Entities>) would allow server owners to
 publish their certificates with their DNS entries. This could -- if I
 understand correctly -- replace the need for having certificates signed by
 a CA, which is always expensive and cumbersome.
