I agree with Denis, this is a certificate validation issue and as such

Jim,
I agree with you and Denis that this is really a PKIX matter, vs. an
S/MIME matter. However, I had several problems with Peter bringing
this in as a WG item:
- we already have OCSP and OCSPv2 has been worked on
- this protocol goes beyond the OCSP semantics to provide
delegated cert (not cert path) validation. we have just agreed to
adopt SCVP for delegated cert path validation, and I was worried that
this overlap would conflict with SCVP
- PKIX has been told to not take on new work items
