ISTM that this "certificate presumed to exist" concept doesn't play
nicely with the current wording of BR 4.9.10:
'If the OCSP responder receives a request for status of a certificate
that has not been issued, then the responder SHOULD NOT respond with
a "good" status.'
If a certificate (with embedded SCTs and no CT poison extension) is
"presumed to exist" but the CA has not actually issued it, then to my
mind that's a "certificate that has not been issued"; and therefore, the
OCSP 'responder SHOULD NOT respond with a "good" status'.
The problem of course is that you don't query OCSP about a certificate,
you query it about a serial number. And that serial number has been
issued. So maybe the BRs should say serial number instead of certificate?
