Thanks. Appreciate the pointers.  Providing an explicit limitation of trust
is an important design requirement.  A well thought out design, but the
complexity may be limiting adoption.  Then again - the complexity
is a function of the core 509 framework ... if trust expressions
were easier to express would there be better adoption and more
trustworthy implementations?
