To be clear, what I mean is whether there is another IETF protocol that
*mandates* the use of WebPKI?

I don't know of any, I'm interested in the definitive answer too.


It definitely has a lot of implications to depend on external parties for security-relevant portions of the protocol.

The sentiment for the protocol design was "we have to use WebPKI anyway for the registration and there is no other good option", but to actually publish an RFC with that dependency, the implications should be discussed.
