Steve,

I have no preference whether in the phrase "CertificateList (e.g., CRL)"
the "e.g.," stays or goes.  Note that some people use CRL to refer
to every instance of a CertificateList, whereas others use CRL, ARL,
ACRL, ICRL, DCRL, etc. to distinguish lists used for different
purposes.  Thus CRL may be either an example of, or a synonym for,
CertificateList.

I agree that the state of the cRLSign bit is not relevant to OCSP
responses and that CertificateList is the only data structure
which requires this bit.

Good points. If one considers ARLs and the other examples above, then I have to admit that "e.g.," is appropriate, though it would be better to include other instances here to make the distinction clearer.
