The new 9.2.2 clause prohibits this. You can't choose to follow either 
9.2.1 or 9.2.2.

And I personally approve all the proposed changes.

> Prior to issuing a Certificate containing an Internal Server Name or

> *REPLACE* Section 9.2.2 (Subject Common Name Field) with the following:
>
> 9.2.2 Subject Common Name Field
>
> Certificate Field: subject:commonName (OID 2.5.4.3)
>
> Required/Optional: Deprecated (Discouraged, but not prohibited)
>
> Contents: If present, this field MUST contain a single Public IP

> *REPLACE* Section 10.2.3 (Information Requirements) with the following:
>
> 10.2.3 Information Requirements
>
> The certificate request MAY include all factual information about the 
> Applicant to be included in the Certificate, and such additional

> *INSERT* in Section 11.1 (Authorization by Domain Name Registrant) the

>
> 11.1.3 Wildcard Domain Validation
>
> Before issuing a certificate with a wildcard character (*) in a CN or 
> subjectAltName of type DNS-ID, the CA MUST establish and follow a

> in the first label position to the left of a "registry-controlled" 
> label or "public suffix" (e.g. "*.com", "*.co.uk", see RFC 6454 
> Section 8.2 for further explanation). If a wildcard would fall within 
> the label immediately to the left of a registry-controlled+ or public 
> suffix, CAs SHALL refuse issuance unless the applicant proves its
