There is no need for this just now. As long as we have rsync as well, there is 
no problem fetching the root certificate using rsync. Also, experience with and 
discussion of RRDP may actually lead us to wanting something slightly different 
eventually (e.g. if we should come up with a more defined way to refer to 
specific objects in RRDP).

In short: I think we should come back to this later when RRDP is mature enough.

Thanks,

Tim
