My response would be that the OU could be a single hyphen minus, but this does 
not mean ‘absent’ or ’none provided’, it means the organization unit’s name is 
‘-’.  (Perhaps other units are called ‘•’, ‘▷’, and ‘◆’.)

It’s definitely the case that 7.1.4.2.2j does not apply to 7.1.4.2.2i, this was 
intentional because we did not want to require CAs to verify the names of 
organization units.
