I don't see why the application would need to know much, if anything,
about it.  `open-network-stream' would say "Invalid certificate.  (Bla
bla.)  Connect anyway?" and the user would type `y' or `n'.

I can't really see how that would disturb smtpmail, Gnus, nnimap, pop3,
rmail, erc or any other application I can think of...
