I don't agree.  If message 2 contained a CertReq for C2 and you don't have
a cert signed by C2 that contains the ID A1, then you should send a Notify
containing INVALID-CERT-AUTHORITY error.

I'm not sure how aggressive mode differs in the ability to negotiate a CA
from main mode.  I think you are really referring to is ID in this case
(which admittedly does impact which CertReq you might be able to honor). In
main mode you have the flexibility of sending a different ID.  In either
case though, "negotiation" of the CA was accomplished via CertReqs.
