I think CABForum is in there by mistake.  I mentioned CABForum in  
passing in my note about talking with law enforcement, but I don't  
actually think CABForum is a good candidate to review our work.   
Their mandate is to specify the details of EV certs, and the  
guidelines have been careful and deliberate in their *avoidance* of  
any mention of UI treatment.

They'd obviously be happy to hear that we had recommendations like  
Secure Letterhead, or Identity Signal, which give UI emphasis to EV  
technologies, but beyond that I don't see them as contributing an  
important perspective.  It's also worth noting that CABForum right  
now is exclusively CAs (which we have represented in our group  
already) and browser vendors (ditto).

So without having any meaningful liasons to offer, I'm hoping I just  
axed 25% of the work here.  :)

Cheers,
