Hi Stephen,

3.1.2 of 6484 says that the CA SHOULD NOT use meaningful names, which

this is a template that the CAs can modify, and that language is
helpful to the desired outcome that the subject names are meaningless.
*I've changed it to more closely match 6484.*
3.1.3 says
"Although Subject names in certificates issued by this Organization need
not be meaningful,"
which is inconsistent with 3.1.2. And 3.1.5 says "Because the Subject names are not intended to be meaningful".
So is it "will not be meaningful" or "need not be meaningful"?
*changed to "SHOULD NOT be meaningful." Could make this an erratum for 6484 if
we want.*
I don't think there is any compliance statement here (how are you going
to test for compliance?). So I think you should use "is not meaningful"
instead.
