The application and semantics of this RFC is unclear.  The only text
describing a use case is:
	"For example, a user agent may wish to draw
	attention to the "notAfter" time for an
	expired certificate.²

This seems broken in that the semantics of any one field needs to include
a notion of the validity of the certificate.

	"A URI that identifies a certificate will likely be used by an
	application or user for some security-related service, such as to
	retrieve the certificate as part of a validation procedure.  When a
	fragment identifies a part of a certificate, the application will
	define the behavioral semantics. "

Not interested and usage appears to be potentially problematic.
