Do you have any UI for altering the OCSP-reported status of 
certs in the myproxy server's store?  If so, how does this work,
or how do you think it should work in general?  I think this
is appropriate to understand (and relevant to this document),
because if we should want to
generalize this idea to other kinds of certificate management,
we should also want to provide the same kinds of interfaces
for cert revocation everywhere.

Thanks, ==mwh
