Thinking about this a bit more last night, let me suggest that in this case
trust is transitive as long as it is explicit.  Meaning, only one endpoint
needs to be aware of the third actor but he needs to know what he is giving
up in security through that trust.  For example, it is pretty clear that a
content provider know what they are doing when they allow a CDN to use a
cert in their name (and that is also likely backed up with legal agreements
on misuse) but an end user probably doesn't understand the security
implications of installing a root cert issued by their ISP.
