Given that customers can only get certs that work in Windows if we violate this part of the BRs, and given that Microsoft isn’t able or willing to patch all old versions of Windows to address this, I’d like to legalize what we’ve been forced to do.

If Microsoft doesn’t think this is an important enough problem to fix with a patch, and it’s their customers that are currently affected, why should any other browser support this BR change?  We would all have to patch our software to at least ignore these values, if not to recognize and match them.
