The payoff is a certificate that is more likely not to have been 
compromised, and one that is signed by your CA.

Can be done if you hack X509_verify and equivalent functions when they check 
the validity of the certificate. Not that I suggest that I am going to 
implement it or that I would be in favor of such a check. I believe that it 
would be an overreaction.
