Nice practical solution.

Except that it creates a monopoly situation for the cert buyer.

Having bought his first cert from CA X, if he ever buys a cert
from CA Y instead, all his users will be alarmed.  This gives
CA X opporunity to charge ever higher prices for cert renewals.

And SURELY raising prices for certs is not among Ian's goals! :)
