I think (guess) it is more likely the latter, but don't know.
I will try to rig up some kind of test that can see what 
our demo OCSP responder can do with a couple chained CA's
and an EE cert (probably as close as ESnet can get rite now).

I think what we should do is request developers of client and
OCSP server code support properly parsed multiple cert
OCSP requests but recommend against using them.  This sounds 
ridiculous but until we fully understand how the commercial
servers work...
