No. The Baseline Requirements state that they apply to _some_ SSL
certificates. Exactly which ones is not clear because the BRs use
language of intent. From section 1.1: "These Requirements only address
Certificates intended to be used for authenticating servers accessible
through the Internet."

Mozilla does not believe the language of intent is useful, and wants to
use language of capability to define scope. Therefore, we have our own
scope statement for our policy, and now want to make it clear that
there's no such thing as an SSL certificate which falls under the
Mozilla policy but does not fall under the BRs, despite the differing
and unclear scope statement in the BRs.
