I understand that it will take some time and effort, and I didn't expect 
it to be part of the Guidelines right now. Some sort of formal or 
informal commitment, to which Mozilla could refer in future might be 
fine. I think, that the statement from the previous mail - *to separate 
the WebTrust EV audit criteria out, so that other auditors could audit 
against them* - would pretty much reflect and be in line with the nature 
of Mozilla as an organization and the Mozilla CA policy, which was 
specifically created by Frank and the community to allow that type of 
openness.

Gerv, maybe you want to update the page at 
http://wiki.mozilla.org/User:Johnath/EVDraft13ReviewComments in that 
respect? Because it says currently:

/The representatives from WebTrust and the audit firms also said that 
they were going to do an equivalence analysis between WebTrust and ETSI 
to see whether one could do an WebTrust EV Audit on top of an ETSI audit./

This is certainly not the same, if you compare both statements.
