Re: ACTION-250: propose breaking out 2.4 into its own proposal.recommendation

This seems to be the first concrete review feedback on the Editors Draft 
(ED) of the recs. Thomas is supposed to look into a better system for us 
to track and return external comments. But for now, Tracker and its Issues 
is what we have. So anyone with comments that should be incorporated into 
the recommendations, please create an issue and draft a concrete  proposal 
for the change to go with it (much as everyone has done with review 
commends on wsc-usecases).

ACTION-250: propose breaking out 2.4 into its own proposal.recommendation








Section 2.4 of the draft on recommendations [1], deals with a
number of PKI related things, that, I think, should be separated.

I think removing the advice to CA operators from here to elsewhere
is the thing to do. Stuff like:

    "CAs who issue high grade SSL certificates (such as EV) ought to
    remind requesters that logographic imagery is subject to trademark
    laws and the requester is responsible to ensure the logo they supply
    to the RA is (a) legal for use in all countries and (b) visually
    distinguishable from other logos."

...belongs in its own "Proposals for CA operators" part and
shouldn't be mixed with guidance for UA vendors on when to display
PKI stuff.

Stephen.
