FWIW, I don't agree with your conclusion that *any* standardisation
of revocation signals would be counter-productive, but I also don't
think we ought do any such standardisation unless there are a bunch
of CAs and writers of private key handling s/w who do in fact want
to use the same new format for revocation signalling. I don't see a
whole bunch of CAs and others wanting that right now.

So in the short term, I think we agree as to what to (not) do:-)

Cheers,
