Uhh, that stuff was a gedanken experiment dreamed up by some folks in PKIX,
alongside things like PKIX path-kludge certificates, not something you're
supposed to rely on in real life.  I'd be really surprised if any generic
implementation actually handled those things the way PKIX imagined they will.
I certainly wouldn't risk deploying one of those things on the assumption that
it'll be handled properly.  The path-kludge in particular looks like something
that was designed to make PKIs break.
