[Servercert-wg] Clarification of CAA requirements for onion certificates

Dear Members,

I was doing a review of CAA requirements in the BRs. Unless I am missing 
something, section 3.2.2.8 seems to enforce the CAA check for all 
certificate types, including onion certificates. I believe there should 
be an exemption for onion certificates since they do not use the DNS 
that chains to the ICANN root.

Do others feel that we need to clarify this further in the BRs either in 
section 3.2.2.8 or in Appendix B?


Thank you,
Dimitris.
