Nope, I'm fairly sure I mean point 2. Rules about intermediate certs
don't apply when there's no intermediate cert.

This is implied everywhere.

This would be a different matter, and one for the CCADB policy. We would
need to have a very good reason for requiring CAs to keep information in
the CCADB which did not relate to our root program.
