If you have a better way of "forcing" the message on the user: 
Feel free to change it. 

Currently I believe we lack the time to make it even better than that.

TLA==Top level administrations?

I tend to disagree, PKIX is there for a while whether I like it or not.
In some circumstances it even allows for a better user experience as OpenPGP,
because of the tools and the knowledge available. I do agree to a lot of the 
criticism of it, though. But this is no excuse to not document our software 
as good as we can for the people that are stuck with x509 and PKIX for 
whatever reasons.
