Bonjour,

SHALL is not equivalent to a SHOULD, but to a MUST. See RFC2119.

Hello,
The RFC<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6960#section-4.2.2.2> states that:
OCSP signing delegation SHALL be designated by the inclusion of
id-kp-OCSPSigning in an extended key usage certificate extension
included in the OCSP response signer's certificate.
The use of "SHALL" rather than "MUST" indicates that this recommendation can be 
ignored.
How does openssl handle OCSP responses signed by certificates that do not have 
id-kp-OCSPSigning in the extended key usage certificate extension when the 
responses are not signed by the issuing CA directly?
What informs this decision/policy?
Are there any security implications in including or excluding OCSP-sign in the 
extended key usage extension?
