You and I are saying exactly the same thing. TACK, for instance, doesn't replace the CA system; it creates a vehicle by which browsers can pin certificates on the fly, the way Chrome already pins certificates for certain web properties, which creates a key-continuity system without changing browser UI or the protocol as it is run between browsers and servers.

You and I might also agree: browsers make it too easy to click through the bad-cert warnings. It used to be a trendy thing to argue on HN that these warnings were entirely pointless and should be done away with, which, of course, would have done grievous harm to security above the harm already done by the click- click-click- you're- done UX browsers have already established here.
