It was noted in Berlin that the SSLMate API requires explicit
confirmation to issue.  The reason why is that SSLMate doesn't have
challenges as a separate concept, so in SSLMate the step to issue is
also the step to verify domain ownership.  ACME already has separate
challenges which need explicit completion, which is why I think an
explicit step to issue would be redundant for ACME.
