[cabfpub] Misissuance of certificates

[Tim Hollebeek]

Secondly, we (or the CA concerned) should ask HMRC what negative consequences might accrue if a company's ID number becomes public. The answer should be "none", because any system designed in such a way that _permanent_ identifiers (as opposed to changeable ones like passwords) have to be kept secret is very broken. But we will see.

If you could please hop in your time machine, and tell Diner's Club and the US Social Security Administration that, I'd really appreciate it.

-Tim
