Whether a self-signed cert is valid or not is up to the receiver. The SSL
library (at least a well written one) isn't going to automatically ignore
self-signed certs. It will allow the programmer to specify what to do. So
clients would have a checkbox:
[ ] Trust self-signed SSL certificates
If checked, then it's allowed, if not, then it isn't.

Ok, but what you're suggesting isn't a garage door that someone can slip
under, you're suggesting that the door be made out of paper. By making it
keyless, you're making it so anyone can get in.
