Yes, but they're not a "trusted" CA, and users will get prompted when
the cert pops up.  Anyone can sign certs (google on CA.pl), it's the
whole "this cert is signed by a trusted authority" thing that
(supposedly) instills confidence in the whole system.

FWIW, I had thought of offering $10 certs myself at one time.  Just have
users fax me some menial amount of data as verification, generate the
cert, whack their Paypal account for $10 and retire in the Caribbean
after a few months...
