+By default the @acronym{CRL} checks are enabled and the DirMngr is
+used to check for revoked certificates. The disable option is most
+useful with an off-line network connection to suppress this check and
+also to avoid that new certificates introduce a web bug by including a
+certificate specific CRL DP. The disable option also disables an
+issuer certificate lookup via the authorityInfoAccess property of the
+certificate; the @option{--enable-issuer-key-retrieve} can be used
+to make use of that property anyway.
