I'm generally supportive of this, but one concern I do have, and I admit
I'm mostly just thinking aloud here, is that we are slowly accumulating a
larger and larger number of things that look like certificates, but aren't
due to people playing games with critical extensions.

I think we may come to regret using that trick so much.  Such schemes
are only one software bug away from having rather profound effects
on trust decisions and the entire ecosystem.

The trick is one of the more ugly parts of certificate transparency, and I 
would encourage people to think about whether it is possible to 
accomplish what this draft is trying to accomplish without repeating that 
mistake.
