I just thought this group would be interested in following the thread on the
blink user group 

"(Pre-)Intent to Deprecate: <keygen> element and application/x-x509-*-cert MIME handling"

  https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/blink-dev/pX5NbX0Xack

dropping those two features of the web without a good replacement would make
TLS client certificate use in browsers immediately a lot more problematic. 
Whether the replacements are there is part of the debate.

I am not sure yet how TLS 3.0 and HTTP2.0 are progressing for client authentication.
