OK, so how will the upgrade work for these signed objects?  In
particular during phase 2, when both old and new certs (under the old
and new profile) are in use, what happens with these signed objects?
Can a party generate both old and new signed objects? If so, will the
protocol scale appropriately?  If not, how does a party know which
signed object to generate?
