I guess you flag it for manual investigation. The alternative is that you don't 
really know when a situation is actually bad until the signature expires, and 
it'd be nice to have some early warning.

I could maintain a manual table of what "bad" means for particular zones based 
on observation, but that seems even more likely to become stale.

Nope, but (especially in these early days of deployment) perhaps it might merit 
a note to an administrator, or a heads-up to a public list.

I guess my point is that unless you're the person involved in signing a 
particular zone, telling when there's a signature expiration problem looming is 
not easy.
