Again, this isn't about tokens. We're talking about a private account key (like, an actual RSA or ECC key), which is associated with FQDNs for which the holder of an account key has the ability to issue certificates.

I'll try to phrase this as an example: Let's say you run an online store for music downloads. One implementation might be to send the user an email with a download link, identified by a token. In this case, it would make sense for this token to expire after the user successfully downloaded the file, and doing otherwise would probably be bad for your business. On the other hand, if your online store involves a login process you need to complete before you can actually download the file (the file being the domain authorization in this example), that's fine and you might not want to limit the user to one download.
