No one person is a typical use case. Well... You are right, of course. Yet this does not answer my second point: if the spouse is spying on you to get your passphrase and remember it, then love is already gone, and you are being subject to the usual hooker attack. Yet I do see your point for revocation certificates here, I think. Oh, just found another one in favor of revocation certificates: they can be easily sent to keyservers from cybercafes without any special software installed.
