I don't think that timely revocation, extending to cached data on
clients, is a problem that we need to address for labeling.  It's a
problem in general and one that most users and implementors probably
don't care that much about.  Timely revocation can always be addressed
separately if it becomes sufficiently desirable.  IMO: leave it out of
scope.
