Does the list on that wiki page need to include the Microsoft equivalent
of the SGC EKU? Or are we not mentioning that?

Yes, it's item #1 in the "Things for CAs to Fix" section.

Item #1 refers to Netscape SGC. I seem to remember their being something
similar but Microsoft-y, which is not mentioned. Am I mis-remembering?

Gerv, you remember correctly that there are 2 "similar" OIDs: one for Netscape Step-Up and one for Microsoft SGC.

Bugs 982292, 982932 and 982936 talk about requiring CAs to stop including the Netscape Step-Up OID in _new Intermediate CA Certificates_, yet somehow this has morphed into "all new certificate issuance" on mozpkix-testing#Things_for_CAs_to_Fix.
Was that intentional?  Is it necessary?

Has any Mozilla software ever recognized the Microsoft SGC OID and done anything with it? What actual Mozilla-related problem would be solved by telling CAs to omit the Microsoft SGC OID? Do Mozilla have the right to tell CAs to stop using a proprietary Microsoft OID?
