This doesn't seem a good fit for the PKI definition of a TA. You can have several TA. any are sufficient to define a trust point to anchor validation. you don't care which. how the path is built, is not the same as where it terminates. top down or bottom up is legal in PKI. -G On Sun, Mar 25,

A fine bit of epistemology lies in the question: is it the same certificate, if you re-issue it with the same keys? No, because it has a different serial. but the crypto doesn't care, its the validation which cares which is a product of the crypto. so validation cares but cryptographic functions
