"Should" virtually always means "I can't personally think of a use case 
to the contrary", which is a lot different from there actually being no 
use cases to the contrary.

Hint: if Alice issues Bob his certificate, Alice obviously has verified 
Bob's certificate.  But has Bob verified anything about Alice?
