Crypto is hard... mostly because X509 is a dog's breakfast of committee

That said, openssl docs should AT LEAST address one who is familiar with X509.
openssl docs should go way beyond that, and include tutorials of the
'right way' to do a wide range of the sorts of things that SSL/TLS
programs need to do. as it stands, as a crypto novice,I find them
completely unusable, and wouldn't know how to begin to write an SSL
application, short of looking at others and blindly copying what I find
without any real understanding of why. And I really really hate
programming that way, it feels like arcane magic ('any sufficiently
advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic", yada yada)
