Yes, Doug is exactly right. The "who can request a certificate for
dean.example.com" question would relate to e.g. validation methods. The
correct question here that one might ask is "how does the O field in the
OV or EV certificate for dean.example.com relate to the various parties
involved in running or operating that website?"
