Good catch.

Not sure a policy OID change is necessary, although might be simplest.
If there's a reference, we either need to change the OID or change the
definition of what the OID means.

IIRC, the OpenSSL library code doesn't do anything RFC-3779-specific
for the policy OID, it just follows the usual rules; it's the RP code
built on top of the library that demands that particular policy OID.
So at least in the OpenSSL case, changing the policy OID may not have
any noticeable effect on correctness of software behavior.
