 I mean the SCTs that have been observed by an auditor that is auditing the
 "auditable evidence".
 But I concede that "all...observed" is unclear.  It could be taken to mean
 all SCTs that have been observed by anyone (rather than all SCTs observed
 by one particular auditor).

 I've proposed that change here:
 https://github.com/google/certificate-transparency-rfcs/pull/98

 > If you want to keep a similar statement though, you could take a look at
 https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-kent-trans-architecture-01#section-3.6
 and describe STH generation's role in those 4 checks.

 I think that that level of detail of the auditing function would be out of
 place in a section that is intended to introduce log requirements.
