hmm, i don't know - a certificat isn't issued just becouse someone at
the ra approved it - only the ca can do this - so for removal

but removing may be considered a specially critical operation
it would also mean - anyone able to compromise the ra may set
certificates to revoked states - even if your ca is still in a valid
state of operation - so i don't know, this could rise other
vulnurabilities to the whole infrastructure, since the ra has to be as
secure as the ca-systems - since it ca revoke certificates...

maybe not the best idea ;)
