> One big problem with the CA system is that any CA - even the most incompetent - can sign certificates for any domain.

Is this not what CAA records were intended to solve? It seems like in practice they're only used by CAs to decide if they can sign a cert for a given domain, but it seems like a client could use it to determine if a server cert was from the correct CA.
