I was thinking about microsoft's intention when proposing this,
but I couldn't remember that their proposal was for 2017.  I think
their proposal only covers the certificates, while mine would
cover everything including the MAC.  The certificates are probably
easier to do since you get to tell the CAs what you will allow.
