I've been meaning to look through the pkix CRL stuff to see how this lot
works in practice. The last time I looked I wasn't sure what (if
anything) restricted the CRL signing certificates path when compared to
the CA certificate. For example if you trust two root CAs A and B you
don't want B to be able to sign CRLs for A without some authorisation
from A (e.g. a CRL signing certificate chaining to A).
