I'd assume then when a browser goes to a given site, the server hands it the
encrypted cert?  Does this mean the encrypted cert is further concatenated
with a timestop (etc) to ensure that encrypted can't be handed out by other
servers in turn and therefore forged?

Not my department.  If I hadn't of been working on a few scripts in the same
directory the other day, I wouldn't have known we even sold them.
