Thanks.  Do you know perchance of any other Microsoft documentation in
this area, that is, their PKI architecture, the signing and revocation
policies, or even security objectives for the Secure Boot
implementation?

The Windows 8 logo requirements are pretty thin on this and only
specify the "Microsoft Windows Production PCA 2011" (which is used to
sign the Windows boot loader).  Policy-wise, I've seen very little
published information (most of it is hearsay), and as to the
objectives, I'm really in the dark.
