This document (helpfully) states:

"This document reviews some of the certificate-processing features of
the following cryptolibraries: Network Security Services (NSS), in two
code sets, Classic (NSS-Classic) and PKIX (NSS-PKIX); ..."

However, as of two days ago, with the release of Firefox 31, Firefox
switched to using mozilla::pkix for certificate verification:
https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2014/04/24/exciting-updates-to-certificate-verification-in-gecko/
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/31.0/releasenotes/

You will need to decide whether to hold the document while you update it
to take account of any changes.

I can tell you that mozilla::pkix also does not do AIA chasing.

"and most end users can manually add or remove root certificates"

Is that a statement about opportunity or capability? :-) Perhaps better
as: "most user agents give end users the opportunity to add or remove
root certificates".
