[KEYPROV] Microsoft: <keygen> is old and very basic

However, that doesn't make Microsoft's solution ideal either because
it also fails to address provisioning in a way that is even remotely
comparable to what current card management software offers.

IETF's DSKPP/PSKC which currently is in WGLC can unlike the HTML5
and MSFT solutions set PIN-codes on tokens which I consider a minimum
requirement.  Unfortunately DSKPP/PSKC has no ties to PKI or browsers.

This total confusion seems like an ideal reason for me to continue working
on the universal browser-based key-provisioning system.  Although it is a
very slow process (it's not my day-job), it is probably still much faster than
the alternatives which seems to be stuck in a form they got a decade ago.
