Rich, if the device itself does cert validation, yes, I would agree with you. 
But there may be other options where head ends or some other kind of proxy 
(more capable than the devices themselves) perform validation on behalf of 
downstream devices. In such cases, CRLs might be more efficient than issuing 
many unique OCSP requests.

Really? I'm not sure how small devices will even be able to hold the CRLs given 
the size let alone process them? I'd have thought something along the lines of 
the must-staple certificate extension would be a lot more practical there.
