<p class="MsoNormal">Would it make sense to adopt the use of Cross-Certified Subordinate CA Certificates as described in the “Profiles” ballot under discussion in the SCWG, instead of Cross Certificates, to avoid some of the confusion we’ve seen with the latter

<p class="MsoNormal">Separately, the definition is, most likely, worth improving both generally and so its use in a definition of Bridge CA is more clear.<o:p></o:p></p>
