Won't a typed blob of some sort neatly solve all of the issues around

nice properties such as isolation between a tam "engine" and plugins
dealing with individual certificate types.

At the syntactic level, yes. But I suspect we need to think more
about what's in some blob variants, in particular x.509 blobs and
I guess PGP blobs. That process might lead to some other fields
in PDUs or not, but we need to think it through in any case,
