Folks,

I agree with the approach discussed on the list of simplifying 6962-bis to 
focus only on specifications for the CT log by moving the detailed 
specifications for other components of the CT system to other documents.

I don't see how duplicating text in multiple documents helps the goal of "simplifying".

BTW, keeping "the rest of 3.2" would mean keeping section 3.2's reference to section 4.2, but...

<snip>
/*Sections 4.1 Wildcard Certificates, 4.2 */***/Redacting Domain Name
Labels in Precertificates, and /*/*4.3 Using a Name-Constrained
Intermediate CA*/**
**

    /[The text in these sections applies only to CAs and should be moved
    to a requirements specification for CAs]/

...you're proposing to move section 4.2 to another document, which would be written later.

For -10 of 6962-bis, I spent many hours moving text around so that each component of the CT system has its own section in that document, rather than all of the requirements for all of the components being mixed up. I think that had the effect of "simplifying 6962-bis", and I don't think that any further "simplifying" work is necessary.

IMHO, the idea of splitting 6962-bis into a separate doc for each component just seems like unnecessary editorial work.
