Thomas,

Michael Aisenberg asked us to go off-line. Well, PKIX is an open discussion 
list. If a change has to be done on a document, it has to be openly discussed.

Now, having said this, Thomas, if my response below on that topic,
i.e. PKIStatus constants clarification, does not satisfy you,
please go off-line and copy my co-editors.

So what ? It says that the TSU certificate, whatever it is, is either going 
to be revoked or has been revoked.
