[cabfpub] EV CS requirements are contradictory

[Jeremy Rowley]

Thanks Ryan and Peter – Rob Stradling pointed this out a bit ago, and fixing it is on my list of updates. I circulated a proposal to fix this a bit ago.  I’ll revive and recirculate.

In the EV CS spec, section 9.2.2 says "Subject Alternative Name Extension:
This field should not be included in the EV Code Signing Objects."

However 9.7 says "the Certificate MUST include a
SubjectAltName:permanentIdentifier"

The definitions says "EV Code Signing Object: An EV Code Signing
Certificate issued by a CA or an EV Signature provided by a Signing
Authority."

So clearly an object is a certificate and it should not but also MUST
include a SAN.  I'm confused.  Is 9.2.2 just wrong?

Thanks,
Peter
