[Servercert-wg] Subscriber key pair generation by the CA

All,

tt seems to me there's an inconsistency between §5.2 of Mozilla Root 
Policy, which very clearly prohibits CAs from generating Subscribers' 
key pairs for SSL Server certs, and §6.1.2 of the BR which seemingly 
allows that. It would seem logical, and should not harm any CAs, if it 
was clarified in the BR that subscriber key pair generation by the CA is 
not allowed, in line with the requirement set forth in Mozilla Root Policy.

What do the people here think?

Adriano
