One other area of importance/consideration here is that third-party
trust-broker services become more important once you get into the whole
world self-signing everything. Taken to logical extreme (eg, wide-scale
deployment), bringing some kind of hierarchy back into the system starts
looking good, and trust-brokers can provide a logical hierarchy even if
they don't provide the actual hierarchy as with current CAs.

Separately, it seems like there are lots of folks that think domain-wide
sigs are a good idea, and lots of ideas being thrown around, and I'm
starting to think that it might be a good idea to take a step back and
work on a requirements document of some kind. Might want to peel off a
separate list to try and nail some of these issues down.
