There are 25M Korean users of X.509 certificates on the web. How many users have WebID-TLS? 100? 1000? 10000? What's worse is that the 25M users are being *pushed off the web* since plugins are about to be "outlawed". Sweden, another big user of X.509+Web has already left the web (browser) for Android and iPhone app-based solutions. Do you have any solution to this? Do I? YES! W3C must perform market research and not only rely on a handful of big-tech technologists who mainly run their own agenda.
