wwwoffle does implement this. Never tested it because it would make the CertPatrol Ffx extension useless. However these days I am seeing so many cert changes displayed by CertPatrol that it is becoming useless itself - there is no way I could reasonably check the 100 or so certificate changes I am seeing every day.
