Apologies for not reading these in detail until four days after the deadline.<br>

I am concerned that it seems that EV Code Signing certificates are not<br>
a super set of standard (Baseline) Code Signing certificates.<br>
Specifically, EVCS section 9.2.2 forbids subject alternative names in<br>
EVCS certificates while the BRCS section 9.2.1 requires a SAN.<br>
Similarly, EVCS 9.2.3 indicates common name is deprecated but BRCS<br>
9.2.2 makes it mandatory.<br>
<br>
My expectation is that EV certificates always meet the requirements of<br>
the non-EV certificate such that systems that don't differentiate<br>
between EV and non-EV certificates can use EV certificates as standard<br>
certificates.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Peter<br>
