[cabfpub] Misissuance of certificates

[Jeremy Rowley]

Are you sure about this?  I don't think that's clear (and is one of the
reasons I've been trying to change the scope of the doc).

>From 1.1: "These Requirements only address Certificates intended to be used
for authenticating servers accessible through the Internet." 

If they aren't intended for authenticating servers accessible through the
Internet, the BRs don't apply (except where this is broadened by the Trust
Store Operator's policy).

No. The current understanding of the scope is all certificates chaining to a
root embedded in public browsers. A CA can choose itself which roots are in
scope, but not individual certificates.
