How does that differ from what S/MIME does now, give or take the warts
of which CAs you trust?

It seems to me that SMIMEA offers two things:

* verify an incoming signature without reference to a CA

* encrypt mail to people who haven't already sent you a key

Of the two, the second seems much more important.  If it's only the
first, I don't think it's worth the effort.

R's,
