What do you think about this solution: introduce a layer on top of SSL that just verifies whether the private key of a certain explicitly stated site has signed a file?

In other words, compromising the server wouldn't be enough, because that doesn't give you the SSL key, so it would still fail "curl|is_signed_by site.com|sh", which they can only pass if they compromise the private key?

Better than the current system?
