That helps, but not a lot ㄟ( ▔, ▔ )ㄏ.  I think that the primary source of my misunderstanding was the intermixing of discussion about multiple certification paths and multiple paths through the tree.  That a tree refers to a singular certification path was key.  There is only a single set of qualifiers on the applicable policies.  That there are mappings only potentially changes which policies receive the qualifiers.
