Hi Doug,

This is and remains problematic, and it doesn't seem the previous feedback
was addressed. This is a bit like the recent remarks Virginia shared with
offering interpretation of legal matters - while it's meant well, it
introduces new problems.

Perhaps you would consider filing IETF errata on what you think is unclear?
I'm sensitive and appreciate the concern that technical documents may be
hard to understand, I think RFC5280 and the (non-)compliance by CAs is
ample evidence that no matter how unambiguous things are, people will
misinterpret and misunderstand.
