I prefer to leverage the signing of the (.) root in the DNS tree. The
amount of effort in signing the root holds more weight than building a CA
off the bitcoin blockchain.
If you want to associate identifiers for payment addresses I suggest
putting those in DNSSEC signed records in the DNS.

There have been proposals to use the blockchain to establish
"identities". firstbits is a simple example. I would like to announce a
project that extends this idea to turn the blockchain into a "root CA"
that can sign arbitrary certificates. The purpose is to use these
certificates in the payment p
