At the risk of veering off topic...

The problem of having a key that you cannot revoke, and the partial
solution I outlined, reminds me somewhat of the situation in the Book
of Esther where a king sent out a proclamation signed with his signet
ring.  The rule in those days that a proclamation signed with the
king's signet ring could never be revoked, not even by the king
himself (similar to the "non-repudiation" property of digital
signatures).  When the king later regretted that proclamation, the
only solution was to send out another (non-revokable) proclamation
that mitigated the effect of the first one.
