[Openid-specs-ab] Issue #2077: Trust chain diagram in backwards order (openid/connect)

[Tom Jones]

Interesting thought.
I always thought that the trust flows down from the anchor to the leaf,
that seems to be what "trust chain" says.
Of course the actual search starts at the leaf and goes back to the anchor.
Depends on your pov.
