RE: S/MIME v3.2 IDs key size text

How about adding a "MUST warn the user that key is too damn short to
be considered safe, even though the 
signature is valid" clause instead?

This isn't sufficient for verification of archived email.  A weak
signature may be covered by a timestamp that enables its verification.
This problem should be addressed using something like DSSC.
