Hi all,

I have a couple of doubts on the current text; I beg your pardon if 
these have been discussed before:

* Section 9.2.1 (Subject Alternative Name Extension) provides "No 
stipulation". Written that way, it implies that a code signing 
certificate with (say) a FQDN in its SAN would be okay, which perhaps is 
not intended (?).

* Section 11.8 (Due diligence) just refers to Section 11.13 of the EV 
Guidelines. It's not specified, though, if this requirement applies to 
both EV and non-EV certificates. As written, it seems to imply that it 
applies to both, which I suppose is not intended (?).
