Hi Ben,

In reading https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA/Subordinate_CA_Checklist#Non-
disclosable_Intermediate_Certificate 
<https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA/Subordinate_CA_Checklist#Non-disclosable_Intermediate_Certificates>s
 
I see:
"Such TCSCAs are technically limited from the issuance of TLS/SSL 
certificates..."
and
"For example, if these subCAs are not used for the production of TLS/SSL 
certificates, but only identity certificates, then you can make use of the 
Extended Key Usage extension on the sub-CA to ensure it is present, and 
that it *lacks* the id-kp-serverAuth and anyExtendedKeyUsage extensions."

So I believe that this wiki page section is still very applicable and 
should be kept.

However the second paragraph does need to be updated to match section 1.1 
of MRSP and this current discussion regarding updating the disclosure 
requirements for intermediate certificates. 

I propose the following text to replace the current second paragraph in 
this wiki page section:

All certificates that are capable of being used to issue working server or 
email certificates and that directly or transitively chain to a CA 
certificate included in Mozilla’s CA Certificate Program MUST be operated 
in accordance with Mozilla's Root Store Policy and MUST be publicly 
disclosed in the CCADB. Subordinate CA certificates that do NOT have an 
Extended Key Usage (EKU) extension which contains any of these 
KeyPurposeIds: anyExtendedKeyUsage, id-kp-serverAuth, id-kp-emailProtection 
are technically limited from the issuance of TLS/SSL and S/MIME 
certificates, so they are allowed to be operated without full public 
disclosure of their CP, CPS, and audit documentation 
<https://www.ccadb.org/cas/intermediates>. 

Thanks,
Kathleen
