[Cscwg-public] Suspension of code signing certs

All,

this is probably an old matter, but I could not solve my doubts browsing 
the past posts.

I suppose, but I am not certain, that - as for SSL Server certificates - 
Code Signing certificates must not be suspended (that is, there must not 
be a CRLReason "certificateHold" in a CRL entry). But maybe I am wrong, 
as I cannot find the relevant language in the Code Signing BR. Anybody, 
please point me at the right spot in the document.

TIA

Adriano
