You're right, but I was actually referring to a third party audit - required for non technically constrained SubCAs.

The issue I raised is not whether ccTLD are allowed in the BRs (they
apparently are, to date) or what kind of entity could be allowed a ccTLD in
their SubCA certificate's permittedSubtrees.

My point is whether a SubCA having a ccTLD in its permittedSubtrees can
reasonably be regarded as "technically constrained" and therefore be allowed
not to be disclosed and not to be formally audited.....
Under the Mozilla policy today, this is not true.  Mozilla inclusion
policy item #12 requires that all CAs follow the CA/Browser Forum
Baseline Requirements (BRs).  The BRs require that the CA signing the
technically constrained cross certificate to audit the constrained CA.
The "parent" CA is then required to be audited and presumably their
controls and operations of subordinate audit will be reviewed by the
their WebTrust or ETSI auditor.  I agree this is a weaker requirement,
but there is oversight.

Thanks,
Peter
