Could I zoom the motivation question out a little bit?

What is the larger goal of the Policy WG in this effort? Is it:

1) Make the BRs a comprehensive list of all the things a CA must do in
order to provide a secure and trustworthy service; or

2) Make it so the BRs stipulate _something_ for every heading from the
framework they are now fitting, and so it never says "no stipulation"; or

3) Something else?

If the answer is 1) or 2), could you explain more about why that is
considered to be a useful and appropriate goal?
