[Servercert-wg] Section 7.1.5 as required by RFC 3647 is no longer in the TLS BRs

Dear Members,

While taking another pass at reviewing the new certificate profiles 
introduced in ballot SC62, I realized that there is some deviation from 
the RFC 3647 structure that the BRs should maintain to help alignment of 
CA CP/CPS documents.

This is the structure defined by RFC 3647 for section 7:

    7.  CERTIFICATE, CRL, AND OCSP PROFILES
    7.1  Certificate profile
    7.1.1  Version number(s)
    7.1.2  Certificate extensions
    7.1.3  Algorithm object identifiers
    7.1.4  Name forms
    7.1.5  Name constraints
    7.1.6  Certificate policy object identifier
    7.1.7  Usage of Policy Constraints extension
    7.1.8  Policy qualifiers syntax and semantics
    7.1.9  Processing semantics for the critical Certificate Policies


Section 7.1.5 does not exist anymore. The BRs have the name constraints 
information in 7.1.2.5.2, 7.1.2.10.8. I believe that, at a minimum, we 
should re-introduce 7.1.5 and point to other subsections of 7.1.2 for 
consistency with RFC 3647.

Thoughts?
Dimitris.
