Hi Andrew,

Thanks for a really thoughtful analysis here!

I had understood that SCWG's BRs and the issuance of web PKI certs was
indeed intended to only be for internet-accessible infrastructure anyway.
Is it really a problem that SCWG needs to solve if people are trying to
piggyback off the web PKI for their internal systems, rather than manage
their own PKI model? This could be yet another nudge for people to stop
doing that, which IMO would be a positive side-effect and not a
counter-argument.

Mike
