Why do you want to use an ugly "standard" where every vendor is adding
his own extensions.  Yes, for basic token access it is probably a good
idea.  Aegypten has its own interfaces which fit perfectly the needs
of FS apps.

You can't use Mozilla with a GPLed library (GPGME) because Mozilla is
not entirely GPLed due to some plugins are still MPLed.  And well,
Mozilla seems to be the only GPLed (and MPLed) application which makes
use of pkcs-11.

What is the problem using the OpenSC pkcs-11 stuff directly.

BTW, PKCS-15 support in Aegypten (aka gpg 1.9) is just an option and
we are going to support other card applications too.


Salam-Shalom,
