So imagine the browser was going to be changed to make that better.

People seem to widely agree that the client-side cert UI is bad on browsers
Can we at least do a thought experiment to be in a world where it is fixed -- what would that look like?
Maybe things like:-

- Allowing the user to click a check box on "Always use this persona (client-side cert) with this web site (domain)"
- Allowing a preferences access to manage the persona/website allocation matrix
- Allow more screen space for selecting those certs
- Allow a user to label, color, and suppress certs in the list
- By default, not including expired certs in the list
- Tracking which persona is in use on this website (only when a user has more than one) in the URL bar

and so on.  Maybe is someone sketched the UI then a browser code could be persuaded to do it.
It is necessary for existing client side cert sites anyway, and would maybe make the cimba.co experience 
quite reasonable.
