I propose:
- We implement a Simple Revocable Key wrapper. This is simply a USK,
with the prefix being SRK instead of USK, and where we check for
SSK@<pubkey>/revoked. If this exists we return a permanent redirect to
it, instead of the data to be returned otherwise.
This does not affect Metadata, and therefore does not imply long-term
maintenance; it is easy to use by e.g. ordinary freesite authors. It may
not be sufficient for FPI's needs for an official freesite, but it is
easy to implement.
I will implement a proper RSK mechanism later, along the lines of what I
have outlined in my other email.
SRKs and RSKs can reasonably coexist; few sites will need the full
capabilities of RSKs.

Sounds like a good idea.
I still like the RSK idea better tho. It's capable of doing the same
thing by only giving yourself a key to revoke it but it takes longer
to implement.
