Backing up quite a bit: It's clear from the examples that the level at
which you can safely truncate a domain and know that you are
identifying a unique organization is extremely difficult to determine.
I'm sure there is a list out there, but it may change. And when it
changes, old software may suddenly either accept too many certs, or
too few.

I'm sure people have thought about this more than I have.
