Unless the user lost the private key, *and*

That's precisely the case I was concerned about.


Ah, well.  In that case, the user would have
to "revoke" via shouting from the roof tops.

Seems like a reasonable compromise.  If a user
is concerned about this risk, then I suppose
they could use a CA-signed cert instead.  But
for the average p2p email scenario, it would
be simpler just to mail the address book and
say "sorry, it ain't me."
