That potential ambiguity literally never occurred to me.  I guess
because the metadata resolvers and filters don't actually have any
knowledge of anything at that level of trust.  Anything like that would
be buried in a TrustEngine config, or the criteria you feed to one, or
something like that.  Also, I suppose, b/c there's not really AFAIK any
such thing as an unsigned certificate.
