2) If 1 is invalid, let's (introduce something new here) check if
DNS doesn't have a TXT field with the certificate fingerprint and
see if it matches the current one, accept if OK

I think this is the perfect use of the TLSA record, instead of introductinga new use of TXT. It is already used by DANE to provide trust outside ofthe CA structure.
