<div>I think regardless of what this Forum decides,
Browsers/Root Stores will continue to operate their programs
independently. Granting exceptions through language in the BR
certainly can provide a framework, but if no root store
respects or accepts that framework, it serves no end.
Likewise, this Forum may decide NOT to include particular
language in the BRs, but Browsers/Root Stores that are
committed to moving the security standard higher may decide to
independently impose such restrictions, for the protection and
safety of their users.</div>

Right, but for the record here we are talking about "downgrading" or
introducing an exception. Even if software vendors would agree to
it, I believe such certificates would be not in compliance with the
BR - until that has been changed and approved for such an exception.<br>
<br>
Therefor I believe the software vendors acceptance is also limited
in this respect.<br>
