This document is ready as a Proposed Standard.

Major: 0
Minor: 0
Nits: 2

Nits:

- S1: The fourth paragraph should be put right underneath the second
 paragraph since the former continues discussion started by the latter.

- S1: Last paragraph --- it will be good to provide some documentation
 regarding the "observed attacks".  Especially a link to relevant papers
 of archival quality discussing the attacks will be helpful.  If the
 attacks are related to the Diginotar and Comodo break-ins, then there
 is an archival paper [1] at a reasonably high level from IEEE that
 discusses this and provides a starting point for those who want to
 learn more.

 digital certificates," pp. 17-20, IEEE Computer, December 2011.
