Could I just sort of mention in passing here that while people are voting on
what colour to make the lipstick there's already a protocol that solves pretty
much all of OCSP's long list of problems that was proposed as a replacement
for OCSP more than a decade ago (and has been in active use in all that time):

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gutmann-cms-rtcs-01

It'd be pretty easy to turn this into an RFC, it just needs to be published...
