By the way, Symantec didn't say "pre-cert," they said "certificates".

Also, I we shouldn't be splitting hairs at the difference between
pre-certificates and certificates as far as mis-issuance detection is
concerned. If people think there is a meaningful (technical, legal, etc.)
distinction between a pre-certificate being logged via CT and the
corresponding certificate being logged in CT, then we should consider
removing the pre-certificate mechanism from CT so that there's no doubts in
that. My view is that there is no meaningful difference.

Cheers,
