"The Issuer field's Organization attribute MUST be displayed to inform the user about the party responsible for that information."

I'm not (yet) buying this as a MUST. MAY, easily. MUST in secondary user interface, you bet. Would some state, as concisely as possible, the reasoning behind the MUST? "Just" to inform the user about the party responsible for that information seems very much like "additional security context information". Nice to have, potentially useful.
