Require.

What consenting endpoints do in the privacy of their own SA is no  
concern of ours. :)

There's no reason you can't any key-centric system and send the keys  
off to a CA to be certified; similarly there's no reason you can't pry  
the key out of a certificate and use it in a key-centric system.

(As an aside, DKIM is another key-centric system that defines RSA  
only, but similarly does not require certificates.)
