When an OCSP response signing certificate expires before the OCSP
responses signed by the certificate expire, multiple websites break,
particularly sites that use OCSP stapling. Make it a requirement that
every OCSP response must have a nextUpdate field that is before or equal
to the notAfter date of the certificate that signs it.

Proposal: add another sentence to the second bullet in point 3 of the
Maintenance section:

"The nextUpdate of the OCSP response must be before or equal to the
notAfter date of the certificate which signs it, and all other
certificates in the chain."
