+* Why does OpenSSL set the authority key identifier (AKID) extension incorrectly?
+
+It doesn't: this extension is often the cause of confusion.
+
+Consider a certificate chain A->B->C so that A signs B and B signs C. Suppose
+certificate C contains AKID.
+
+The purpose of this extension is to identify the authority certificate B. This
+can be done either by including the subject key identifier of B or its issuer
+name and serial number.
+
+In this latter case because it is identifying certifcate B it must contain the
+issuer name and serial number of B.
+
+It is often wrongly assumed that it should contain the subject name of B. If it
+did this would be redundant information because it would duplicate the issuer
+name of C.
+
+
+* How can I set up a bundle of commercial root CA certificates?
+
+The OpenSSL software is shipped without any root CA certificate as the
+OpenSSL project does not have any policy on including or excluding
+any specific CA and does not intend to set up such a policy. Deciding
+about which CAs to support is up to application developers or
+administrators.
+
+Other projects do have other policies so you can for example extract the CA
+bundle used by Mozilla and/or modssl as described in this article:
