The core time stamp information can be used indirectly, as a field inside 
some third party WhateverService (WS) structure. Even (!) if this WS 
structure gets signed/ enveloped, the signer is not going to be the TSA. 
DCS as it stands now may serve as an example.

So, having tsa inside the TSTInfo may come as a useful thing - the WS 
clients may still want to know the TimeStamp's origin.
