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.

My take-away is I'll add doing this for some DKIM keys to
my to-do list.


It occurs to me that it doesn't even need to be a one-size fits all solution for providers. All a provider would need to do is have an opt in for users to to use selectors who are regularly repudiated, and keep the current non-repudiation selectors forever.

If you were to pursue this, what venue would you use? Isn't everything shut down?
