Ignoring personal accounts, it would be interesting to see EDUCAUSE (identity & access mgmt) investigate whether this can be provided to EDUs. Similar to the way .edu is managed by EDUCAUSE, perhaps it's possible to obtain an EDUCAUSE chained root cert by one of the existing roots (IPS?) and then allow EDUs to issue email/TLS certs for themselves using an EDUCAUSE hosted interface. The ability to do this for TLS (SSL) certs alone would be a significant win, from a financial and security perspective, for the EDU community.
Or just leverage the CACert project? http://www.cacert.org/
