Not quite - unlike scenario two, the user would get a subdomain from
the PageKite provider, rather than using her own domain. And unlike
scenario four, the user would generate a certificate for the subdomain
and have it signed by a CA, rather than using someone else's wildcard
cert.

I'm splitting hairs, though - the main point was that things like
certificate signing can be handled by the installation wizard, using
service providers that are independent from the hardware vendor.

That sounds great! What was the issue you mentioned with end-to-end
HTTPS when using PageKite with the user's own domain?

Cheers,
