Obviously I'm not vehemently against this -- people can do whatever they like with their private keys -- but it seems in order to do this properly it's a tiny bit protocol specification and a lot of bit of BCP describing the problem space of who, when, and why somebody would do this.

That's fair. It'd also require a bit of analysis as to how
published private keys could be used for attempted mischief
as well.

So I just discussed this with lawyer friend of mine who would actually be impacted by this, and suffice it to say this could get very complicated in an actual legal setting. I also found out that i could have a gig as an expert witness. I'm weighing whether this a good thing or a bad thing :)
