From Leon's original posting, it sounds like he already understands the
theory well enough -- the issue is that the process you suggest isn't
what's documented.
Having said that, the apparent implementation does seem sane WRT PKI
theory, and everything we want to do (such as trusting only a subset of
certs signed by the trusted roots) can be done with a combination of
this implementation and ACL conditions, so this sounds like it's just a
bug in the docs, probably. Philip?
