The most valuable thing about a self-signed certificate from my point of view is that you can detect when the cert changes Good point. But as a practical matter, is there any web browser that detects that? I appreciate that the two SSH clients I use do, but I thought web browsers didn't. I assume that the fact that one visits a lot more web sites than shell sites has a lot to do with it.

No, sigh.
Well, you'll get the "it's self-signed, make an exception or run and hide?" dialogs again when the cert changes, but there's no notification that you *already* made an exception, so you'll probably treat it the same way you treat all the other dialogs like that, i.e. curse and click through.
