This is neither accurate nor correct. The CA/Browser Forum neither
describes nor dictates browser behaviour.

Perhaps you are thinking RFC 6125, but since you've stated this multiple
times, I can only believe this is an honest mistake, but one that deserves
calling out.

Could you clarify the relevance of this to the discussion? While it serves
as a useful reminder for those who may have forgotten, I'm at a loss as to
how this has any relevance or impact to the conversation thus far or the
discussion of tradeoffs, so I must be missing something quite basic.
