The web-going public desperately needs a bigger stick with which to hit a CA which screws up. 'Sudden death' would be a nice idea if the browser vendor half of CAB could achieve it. A bond held by CAB and forfeited to UNHRC (or someone) on an event like this would work, too.

CT is a great idea, and the CAs really must pull their collective fingers out and support it, but only works to detect screw ups after the fact.
