Filed bug 978630 on the possibility of a general solution.

This API needs to be converted to JS-implemented WebIDL. Jed, are you the right person to do this?

Hi, Bobby.  Yes, I can take this.  I haven't done anything with WebIDL before, but looking at the documentation, it seems pretty straightforward.

Sounds great. [1] has the most relevant bits, though presumably you've found that already. Let me know if you run into any trouble. :-)

Sorry this has been languishing.  Heading down to MV on Monday to work on this, perhaps leaning over to ask bholley for a little advice now and then :)

With the changes in bug 1011084, web pages can no longer call registerCertificate. So I guess this is fixed.

> TypeError: navigator.mozId.registerCertificate is undefined
