I'd like to add that in my opinion, the lifetime should be decided by the user 
agent (default) or by the user (preferably). Current situation, where the CA 
can sign whatever they want and declare lifetime for the trust exactly as they 
wish, does not seem sane for me.

I'd much rather see world where CA signs whatever they want and trust is 
handled separately, hopefully using some kind of web-of-trust algorithm.
