I was thinking that the text as drafted in RFC 6844 does what was intended 
which was that if any CAA records were present in a record set, issue of 
certificates would be restricted to CAs that were explicitly authorized to 
issue at least one class of certificate.

To answer the question in a more restrictive fashion.

"It is my understanding that the text as drafted prohibits issue of a wildcard 
certificate by a CA not authorized by an issue record if the record set only 
contains issue records."

Phill, you wrote earlier:
"It is my understanding that the text as drafted prohibits issue of a wildcard 
certificate if the record set only contains issue records and issue of a non 
wildcard certificate if the record set only contains issuewild records."

Which document is the "text as drafted" that you're referring to?

I suspect that Peter and Ryan both thought that you were referring to RFC6844.  
(And indeed, if you're not referring to RFC6844, I'm not sure which document 
you are referring to!)
