Thanks,

It has been brought to my attention that the above statement is very difficult to understand.

Alternatives suggested:

A certificate will not be considered an EV certificate if mozilla::pkix
determines that all possible paths to a trusted root rely on certificates that contain the inhibitAnyPolicy extension.

OR

Mozilla::pkix must be able to build at least one trusted path that lacks
the inhibitAnyPolicy extension to grant EV treatment to a certificate.


Any preference?

Kathleen
