Very nice initiative.

Very nice initiative. But for me the biggest problem with adoption of SSL is still that every domain name needs it's unique IPv4 address, and all problems that come with that, not registering or paying for the SSL certificate. At work, I usually use virtual hosting for about 100 domains on one IP address. I don't see us buying an IPv4 address per domain and adding them to my NIC configuration one by one. Once we can safely ignore IPv4 and use IPv6 only it will probably become easier and cheaper.
