Hi Rob,

You're doing OK ;-)

The trouble with this is that it rules internal server name certs out of
scope, as long as they use CN and not SAN. So if this were our scope
statement since the beginning, we could not have forced the deprecation
of internal server names.

This is also problematic, because there is not a single definition of
"publicly-trusted". You might say "a root enabled for SSL in the root
store of any CAB Forum browser member"?
