intermediate CAs that would be trusted.

I'm not sure I understand why it would be helpful to know all (or any)
intermediate CA ahead of time.  If you trust the self-signed Root CA,
then, by definition, you've decided to trust everything that CA (and
subordinate CA) issues, with the exception of revoked certificates.

Can you please elaborate?  Thanks.
