Since OCSP is set to soft-fail in Firefox, and I don't know about any other browsers, I request that Eddy _NOT_ post or distribute the private key. If necessary, he can use that private key (according to the EKU) on a TLS client to prove that he does hold the key.

(As an aside, software which enforces EKU policies such as contained in this certificate [TLS Web Server Authentication, TLS Web Client Authentication] makes it MUCH more difficult to prove that a signature is verifiable by a public key -- otherwise I'd simply suggest that he write a statement that he is who is is and sign it with that key, and attach it to this document. The keyUsage extension shows 'Digital Signature' under openssl's certificate display, so software that doesn't enforce EKU should be able to verify such a signature.)
