We've already had discussion why MD5 on the root isn't worrisome or
bothersome.  I'm assuming that there are no attributes of the
certificate which contains the trust anchor which are actually
checked, and that the trust-bits are effectively set on the key
included in the certificate itself?

I don't think those keys can be broken in such a way that sub ordinate certificates may be issued by an attacker....but is there an estimate if and when this would be possible?
