I think the above starts to address some concerns, but I think it sidesteps the initial comments I made. There is a clear semantic we can relay w/ this new flag: ``don't use this cert for this email.'' The above seems like it is trying to address the case where we rush to use certs while they exist, and restrict use after. I'm ok w/ that, but I think it leaves us with an inference problem instead of being specific. <snip> >> As I think you said above, ``DANE records (SMIMEA, TLSA, ?) are >> maintained by the subject's domain and can be presumed *current* >> when the publishing domain is not negligent.''

Well, what about if I run a mail domain, I issue usage type 3 certs, I don't want to run a CRL or OCSP service, and I want to remove a user account from my domain? To be honest, I think usage type 4 would be useful, but I'll only press more illustrative examples if the group wants more discussion? If no one else thinks it's useful, so be it. However, (at a high level) I do think it is important to point out that deauthorization is fundamentally different than revocation, and OCSP/CRL services have their own warts too. Eric
