Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding compliance of the id-ad-caIssuers extension 
(OID: 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.2) under the CA/Browser Forum Baseline Requirements 
(BR).
Per Section 7.1.2.10.3 of the BR 
<https://github.com/cabforum/servercert/blob/main/docs/BR.md#712103-ca-certificate-authority-information-access>,
 
the requirement for id-ad-caIssuers is:
A HTTP URL of the Issuing CA's certificate.

In this regard, I have two questions for clarification:
1. If the id-ad-caIssuers extension in a subordinate CA certificate points 
to a cross certificate, would this violate the relevant provisions of the 
BR?
2. According to the definition of id-ad-caIssuers in RFC 5280 Section 
4.2.2.1 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/inline-errata/rfc5280.html>:
Where the information is available via HTTP or FTP, accessLocation MUST be 
a uniformResourceIdentifier and the URI MUST point to either a single DER 
encoded certificate as specified in [RFC2585] or a collection of 
certificates in a BER or DER encoded "certs-only" CMS message as specified 
in [RFC2797].
Accordingly, id-ad-caIssuers may point to either a single DER‑encoded 
certificate or a certs-only CMS certificate bundle (.p7c format).If the 
id-ad-caIssuers extension in a subordinate CA certificate points to a .p7c 
certificate bundle containing both cross certificates and root 
certificates, would this violate the relevant provisions of the BR?

Thanks!
Awel
