What stops our adding a record that requires DANE and a conventional CA? (Preload it like HSTS, if you'd like, to prevent US IC downgrade attacks if people stupidly configure DNSSEC to fail open.)

This way, fuckups like this CA can't hurt me because they couldn't break DANE and IC couldn't hurt me (more than they can already) because WebPKI would have to approve too.

I don't think the CA death penalty addresses the problem. Just as in the physical world, the death penalty isn't a perfect deterrent.
