What I would like is a consensus way to describe the nebulous, not really a
  *
thing, that we call the WebPKI.  It's not *A* thing, but rather a set of
  *
loosely coordinate trust anchor stores in commodity operating systems and
  *
browsers.   We often need to talk about this, and I don't think we have a
  *
good definition/reference that we can cite.

How rigorous a definition do you think is necessary?

The collection of entities — CA’s, those running web sites, and users who often use commodity browsers — that send and retrieve information over the Internet.
