Ray,

        does revocation of a certificate revoke the key or just the
fact that someone vouched for it.

        I assume I can have the same key in many different certificates.

There is nothing anywhere which says that each keypair can only be
associated with one certificate.  And there's nothing which ties a
revocation to anything but the certificate.

This is actually, in my opinion, one of the advantages of identifying
certificates by issuer/serial number vs. by public component.
