Suppose we add a new challenge "offline/xxxx" where /xxxx is an IANA registry 
(first-come first-served).  The ACME client then stops doing online protocol, 
communicates with its human who does the appropriate credential validation with 
the CA. Ultimately (hours, days, weeks, months later), the protocol continues 
and the "offline" challenge gets its response which is a base64 string.

For the current CA's, what manual process could not be served by this type of 
challenge?

                /r$
