Hi Eddy. Yes, this is true... unless the SubCA is technically constrained. In that case the auditing is less restrictive so that the CA can audit and should audit the SubCA for compliance and quality. The constraints provide protection but don't solve best practice such as key size, SAN inclusion etc so these need to be flowed down and monitored as per the amendments to the BR guidelines in ballot 105 last July.
