I guess we're working on different meanings for "provide", in this
sentence of the CCADB policy:

> CAs must provide English versions of any Certificate Policy, Certification
> Practice Statement and Audit documents which are not originally in English

The way I was looking at it was that a CPS is "provided" to the CCADB by
linking to it.  If a translated CPS exists, but it isn't linked to from the
CCADB (or, as far as I can tell, anywhere sensible on the CA's site), can it
really be said to have been "provided"?  Especially when (as is the case for
DFN-Verein) the cert itself doesn't include cPSuri, indicating where the CPS
repository even is?

Perhaps the CCADB needs to be augmented, to specifically include an "English
language version" of CP/CPS/Audit statements?

As far as I can see, s8.6 only discussed audit reports, not CP/CPS.  Which
is fine and necessary, but when I'm trying to figure out where to send
"y'all have a pile of certs that need revoking because your customers leave
their keys on pastebin" e-mails, a CPS that I can read is what I need.
