Of course the cross signed cert works!

That not the point.

The cross signature is worthless if the signed cert beneath it is self-signed.

If Identrust cross signed self signed certs, the self signed cert would be trusted too... and it would "work" in all browsers...

Coly Tarry Frap Tarts! you're daft.

Here try this:

1. Setup a domain with an MX record that points off domain and a dmarc p=reject record...

2. Try to get a cert from any CA other than Lets Encrypt without answering any emails sent to the off domain MX.

...

Then... install Lets Encrypt... bam-o! Cert heaven!

It's self-gawd-damn-fing-signed.
