Accepted CAs is/should be a property of your *operating system*, not any
particular software. Anyhow, restricting this further just makes it even more
unusable. Already there is only 1 or 2 CAs that will provide a gratis
certificate for personal/small users. If you only allow high-class CAs, I
imagine that will restrict "no key in the URI" aliases to those who will fork
over a lot of money.
