The CA/Browser Forum should create a public log of instances where a CA has 
notified the CA/Browser Forum of conflicts between the Guidelines and local law.

Section 9.16.3 (Severability) of the CA/B Forum BR, mentions that:

"If a court or government body with jurisdiction over the activities covered by 
these Requirements determines that the performance of any mandatory requirement 
is illegal, then such requirement is considered reformed to the minimum extent 
necessary to make the requirement valid and legal.  This applies only to 
operations or certificate issuances that are subject to the laws of that 
jurisdiction.  The parties involved SHALL notify the CA / Browser Forum of the 
facts, circumstances, and
law(s) involved, so that the CA/Browser Forum may revise these Requirements 
accordingly".

If you consider that the BR is somehow "incompatible" with local law so that if 
you were to be compatible with the BR you would be illegal in your country, 
then you might want to notify the CA/B Forum accordingly.

IMO, RFC 3647 is a structure for every PKI whether it is regulated by local 
law, the CA/B Forum or private company rules. RFC3647 structure is more 
commonly used so this makes it easier for others to compare/audit/monitor PKI 
policies.
