You can't trust remote servers you're getting the content from... what
if I send wonky times to try and screw with your browser? Or header
injection attacks? No thanks.

It's not entirely a bad idea. You could say "if http header time and
system time differ severely (> 1 week or something) then don't connect
to hsts sites".

Sounds a bit like kerberos
