    On 11/01/2012 11:50 AM, From Rob Stradling:
    <blockquote cite="mid:509245FB.5060509@comodo.com" type="cite">On

      <blockquote type="cite">A revoked certificate can't be made valid

        as long as it hasn't expired.

      </blockquote>
      <br>
      Eddy, I completely disagree.  RFC2560 very clearly states...
      <br>
      <br>
        "The "revoked" state indicates that the certificate has been
      revoked
      <br>
         (either permanantly or temporarily (on hold))."
      <br>
      <br>
      In other words, RFC2560-compliant OCSP _always_ has the option of
      changing a certificate's status from "revoked" to "good".
      <br>
    </blockquote>
    <br>
    Considering that the BR disallows suspension of certificates, I
    believe the RFC in this respect isn't relevant. We might make this
    cleared, but this would be my interpretation (even before the BR was
    adopted).<br>
