If you rely on the CAs to provide this extension in their OCSP responses, then any CAs that want OCSP traffic (for user tracking) can just omit the OCSP extension. The multiple OCSP method lets the server improve the user's privacy without any cooperation from the CAs involved. (Most TLS clients issue their OCSP requests before they've authenticated the server's Certificate and (lack of) CertificateStatus messages, so while a CA wouldn't be able to force clients to make the OCSP requests, a MiTM can still force them to do so. This could be prevented by moving the CertificateStatus and CertificateRequest before the ServerKeyExchange, and making the ServerKeyExchange signature work like the CertificateVerify signature, hashing all the prior handshake messages. This is something that should be considered for extensions like Snap Start that modify the structure of the handshake, and for the next versions of TLS). Regards, Brian
