As you know, the CAB Forum guidelines do not mandate use of CAB Forum policy 
OIDs to assert DV/OV compliance.  We'd happily support a change in this policy 
at the CAB Forum and plan to update our certs accordingly if such ballot passes.

CertificatePolicies extension cannot reliably be used for some CAs to assert 
some DV/OV compliance.

DigiCert attached policyId 2.16.840.1.114412.1.1 to the subscriber certificate, 
but this certificate has been issued by a CA limited to 
policyId=2.16.840.1.114412.1.3.0.2 (by its issuing CA), which itself was 
limited to policyId=1.3.6.1.4.1.6334.1.0.
