On certificates and validation

> Ssh doesn't expire its keys, and isn't worse for that.

This is the analogue I was looking for. SSH doesn't care about Common
Name or other cruft in the cert, either.

I agree that some sort of sanity check is nice, but at the same time I
have trouble finding a philosophical or practical reason for doing any
sort of validation on first use, and any beyond "same as last time" on
subsequent visits.

Yes, Drew says I should. But are there any arguments supporting that position?

Cheers,
