By eliminating the DTP option, you will massively raise costs for CAs
that rely upon local translators and information gatherers.  I think a
much better proposal would be to require the CA perform the RA
activity contemplated by BR 3.2.2.4 and 3.2.2.5 and restrict DTPs to
Subject Identity Information validation.
