This seems pretty excellent. The only issue is, as you say, if it turns
out that a cert is issued to the wrong person, 8 days seems long. Could
we say that if the CA determines that the cert is issued to the wrong
person, they must immediately revoke within 24 hours; they don't get the
remainder of the 7 days before having to revoke? Not perhaps easily
enforceable, but a commendation of good practice.
