Note also that AKI/SKI chaining SHOULD NOT be checked
during path validation. To be more explicit, it's
NOT true that the SKI of a CA certificate must match
the AKI of a certificate signed by that CA.

Reading this discussion I ask myself: Is there any good reason to set AKI/SKI at all? Is it worth for anything? Or is it just YAPEB [1]?

Ciao, Michael.
