We've had well over a month of discussions about the requirement for
email
address in end-entity certs, and the requirement for the MUA to check the
From field against the email addresses in the cert. Yet this latest draft
is virtually the same as the previous draft on these issues.

I thought that it had been settled that neither of these requirements
would
remain. Wasn't that the concensus from the meeting in San Francisco?

I screwed up.  The word MUST will be replaced with MAY in the following
sentence from section 3.1:

End-entity certificates MUST contain an Internet mail address as
described in [RFC-822].

I read the first half of the paragraph from John's notes, but not the
last half.

Boy, it's getting hot in here.  I should learn how to edit.
