Are you suggesting that we might be able to decouple SSL from DNS, 
for example with "smart" browsers informing the user that "site.com" 
is using a new key/cert and prompting to select nicknames to 
differentiate between "site.com" with the old key/cert and "site.com" 
with the new, but still allowing the user to remember *both* for the 
purpose of future browsing?
