Agree.  Recommend that this be changed to CarlRSASelf and CarlDSSSelf.

While we're on the subject, should the EE certificates have the full name in
the CN also?  For instance, cn=AliceRSASignByCarl (currently it is
cn=Alice).

Agree -- just so that we're on the same page, do you agree that it currently
indicates that keyCertSign is asserted?

I will add cRLSign to the next version.
