LOL! Well, what I wished to imply here was to point to the certificate RFCs
and the requirements of a valid X.509 v3 certificate. Not having a subject
in a CA certificate will not make it an X.509v3 certificate with a CA
purpose. My apologies for the ill communication.
Was there a question about not having a subject field at all?
I wasn't clear: When you see either Snake Oil as organisation
or "state" in countries outside a few countries where this
make sense for identification, then the certificate creator has
at least spent some time thinking ... which still doesn't
mean that the result is better :-)
