Is there any way I can suck back the last two messages I sent on this thread 
and pretend they never happened? <sigh> I guess not.

Please ignore my assertions about what the AIA extension does: I was completely 
wrong. As we were making the AIA extension in the PKIX WG, we discussed 
multiple proposals, and I quite frankly forgot which one won.

The AIA extension, using id-ad-ocsp, tells where to find the OCSP responder 
that will tell you about *this* certificate, not the certificates issued by 
this CA (if it the extension is in a CA certificate).

We never did standardize an extension that says "if you see this in a CA cert 
and you want to know where to find my OSCP server, it is over *here*".
