Interesting blog post on this topic by Adam Langley here:
  http://www.imperialviolet.org/2012/02/05/crlsets.html

One question, though. Langley writes:
   "If the attacker is close to the server then online revocation
checks can be effective, but an
    attacker close to the server can get certificates issued from many
CAs and deploy different
    certificates as needed."
Anyone follow this line of reasoning?
