In some sense the proposal is about having a trusted issuer who's not
included in public trust stores, which is a reasonable goal (there's
a fantastic amount of work, including external audits, in having
your intermediate included in browser trust stores, etc.).  We haven't
had a good delegation story since, like, ever, but now there's a
somewhat compelling use case (CDNs) that needs attention and will
benefit from a solution.
