There are *lots* of TLS extensions that eliminate or obviate the need 
for the (horrible) PKIX trust model as deployed. For example, TLS PSK, 
TLS-SRP, the PGP method you've found, and others.

Right now, none are useful in a browser, but personally I have high 
hopes for raw keys, trust-anchored by DNSSEC via RFC 6698. In this 
model, X.509 is essentially just a payload format for certs - the entire 
trust model is unused.

Such as tlslite?
