I dunno, what does X.509 say about expired certificates?

I'm a little bit worried about the law of unintended consequences
here. Right now we have exactly two states: fully verifies, or
doesn't and is equivalent to no signature at all. What is the
ramification of allowing for a third state? Are there exploits
which become available? What about over all reliability/stability
when some receivers interpret the SHOULD differently?
