How is this substantially different from other commercial CAs? Think 
about it. Every commercial CA is in it for the same reason: money. 
Whether they make it selling certificates up front, whether they make it 
selling revocations after the fact, it's still all about money comma 
separating you from your. Security, specifically your security, doesn't 
matter to them. All that matters to them is did your check or charge clear.
