This would seem to introduce a new vector--key compromise--for being able to 
impersonate the domain, wouldn’t it?

Such an authz method would be proving not access to the domain itself, but 
access to the key, and would be vulnerable to local misconfigurations. It seems 
thus not dissimilar to the erstwhile problem with tls-sni-01/02.
