I CCed Mozilla developers because this project would enable them to use this 
daemon for storing their secrets in a secure manner as well (HTTP 
authentication, login form data, mail client passwords) - at least on 
platforms where a daemon implementing the spec is available. Another bonus is 
that - using a common storage scheme - the secrets would be available cross-
browser and thus benefitting users who don't only use Konqueror, Ephiphany, 
Arora, FireFox, ... but switch between browsers.
There are related user requests in both Mozilla's and KDE's bugtracker.

Regards,
Michael
