(B is my answer —CRL)Certificate revocation is intended to convey a complete withdrawal of trust in an SSL certificate and thereby protect the people using a site. However, some browsers handle crl so carelessly that frequent users and its admins can keep using a revoked certificate for weeks w/o knowing anything is amiss. Recently, this was illustrated when a e-commerce site was still using an intermediate certificate more than a week afte revocation.
