Apologies. By choosing to use the term TSP when referring to an organization operating a PKI, I thought I had made my meaning clear.

For reference, there has been an ongoing CA/Browser Forum discussion aimed at disambiguating the term "CA": https://cabforum.org/pipermail/policyreview/2016-May/000291.html On Fri, Mar 23, 2018 at 4:08 PM, David E.
