That is certainly an interesting project, I wish it success, and it may very well improve things in the future. However, it looks like currently it is only experimentally used in firefox and isn't really easy to use in other applications. And even if there was a readily available library for consuming crlite files, there is still the problem of keeping the local crlite filter up to date and if you want to use different trust anchors than firefox, you would need to have the infrastructure to generate your own crlite filters periodically.
