Mike,

Hoping that your mail reaches the list, else my reply, containing your
message below will.

On your essay:
I agre and I hope nothing in draft 05 lead you to think that you need to
use the same key to sign the response that was used to issue the cert.
However, for authorized responders, the key used to sign the cert
SHOULD/MUST be the same key that was used to sign the cert to the
authorized responder.
Atleast, this is the only option that clients need to support.
