This depends on the OCSP implementation; the use of OCSP does not
automatically equate to 'real-time' or (in some cases) even
'moderately-close-to-real-time' certificate status. If the responder
is referencing a CRL for status info, the data will only be as fresh
as the CRL it references.

Personally, I don't agree with such implementations of OCSP...but they
do exist.

Cheers,
