<p class="MsoNormal">I appreciate the feedback on the terminology. You have all pointed out similar concerns, namely that Domain Name, FQDN, Domain Label, etc all have existing well known meanings and trying to overload them only confuses things and may have
unintended consequences. After reviewing the feedback, I think it makes sense to use existing external definitions for existing terms and define our own distinct ones where we mean something specific for the BRs. Paul suggested looking to RFC 7719, "DNS
Terminology”, which I think makes sense. What do you think of the following definitions and proposed use?<o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. Underscores in SAN:dNSName entries. It’s not the current BR that disallows underscores in dNSNames, it’s X.509 and RFC5280 (and current DNS specifications), and there is no justification about allowing underscores other than « it’s done
by some admins » or « Microsoft allows it ». While domain names can contain anything (even characters such as '[({*$!?" ), dNSName shall contain a host name, and host names shall only be composed of LDH labels. I’d prefer the standards to be changed instead
of explicitly allowing deviations from the standard.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">2. « Reserved IP address ». The new definition now allows a CA to deliver a certificate for an obviously invalid IP (I doubt anyone could claim « owning » 192.0.0.9 or 192.0.0.10, and I haven’t fully checked the others).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. « Wildcard Domain Name ». The new definition is not robust enough. An FQDN is a sequence of Domain Labels —which can contain any character—, so « *.<a href="http://scanmail.trustwave.com/?c=4062&d=ouX52Q47SU5Ob6wWNjwHf-ns9dSB2SIbPtGbw0YDug&s=5&u=http%3a%2f%2fdomain%2ecom%2f">domain.com</a> »

<p class="line874">The current Baseline Requirements do not expressly allow underscore characters in Subject Alternative Names. This ballot seeks to clarify that one or more underscore characters (“_”) are allowed in FQDNs. In many places it also replaces the
term "FQDN" with "Domain Name" because "Domain Name" now means either "FQDN" or "Wildcard Domain Name". The ballot clarifies validation of wildcard domain names.
