The current system provides no more authentication or confidentiality than if everyone simply used self-signed certificates.
Not strictly true. The current system at least gives you "you have reached the hostname your browser tried to reach". A self-signed cert doesn't even give you that.
really? even in the face of CA's that have signed certs for existing domains (to not the domain owners)? If I have a thawte cert for valdis.com on host A and one from comodo on host B... which is the right one?
