I don't have strong opinions about what people use the data for; I would
hope it would be usable for either purpose. After all, people use
certdata.txt for the latter purpose even though
https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA/Additional_Trust_Changes
exists...

I want it to be at least as capable as certdata.txt; I agree with the
issues raised in previous discussions about a domain-specific language,
and I don't want to go down the route of attempting something which can
specify arbitrarily-complex restrictions. But it could certainly have
reasonably simple mods like "only trusted for certs issued before date
X", or "name constrained in this way".
