The obsession with keygen strikes me as odd. It's a legacy feature that 
W3C has never endorsed and best practice is to ignore, as many browsers 
plan never to support. Its included in HTML5 as a legacy feature. I 
think I stated that to you before, Anders, as well as others.

Thanks for reminder though, I'll email HTML5 and make sure that this 
page points that out as its obvious its still causing confusion.
