You're looking at it as a technical issue. It's not. It's a social  
one. It's like you're saying "speed limit signs don't stop people  
speeding, so there's no point posting them".

No they haven't. Not in this design.

They've given YOU, as a creator of an object, the option to choose to  
trust certificates signed by verisign.

If you have checked "verisign" in that example list I posted, then SL  
will allow your content to be transferred into regions if they have a  
certificate signed by verisign. If you haven't, it's not even going  
to ask for that certificate... it'll deny the transfer.
