You can limit the scope to CAs and identify the same subset of possibilities
which could be used to prune what (new) implementations ought to be required
to support.  Maybe a taxonomy is not required and simply asking on a per
feature basis is good enough.  The combinations can get pretty nasty though.

I think we can safely say that nothing in a mass market trust anchor store
ought to be configured by default such that subordinate OCSP responders can
issue responses for any CA.
