It doesn't need standardising; each CA needs to individually decide
which domains to tell their customers to use, and what they mean. For
example, there's no technical reason why Rick couldn't choose to
register and use "weloveallthingssymantec.com" as the official
designator for "any Symantec brand" :-)
