You have an implicit public key certificate with probably a very short 
lifespan like 1 day.

This is not an abstract problem comming from a hypothetical problem.

The same issue comes up with DNSSEC. I have done some calculations and
I recon that for the same price as the faux-PKI proposed by the DNS-SEC
group it would be possible to support an XKMS service.

So I have to be able to scale to ten billion or so transactions a day.
I need the option of static data to reliably serve over 10 million or so
requests.

I still end up having to sign the RequestID.
