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
