Ah, thanks. Will add in v2.

If I'm reading the spec right, certs are supposed to come along with
the guest request when the user issues an extended guest request. If
the length is correct, we issue the command to get the report and we
simply override what the psp returns for the certs.

Is that your understanding too? If so, are you saying there's a bug in
this implementation?
