[cabf_validation] FW: Domain Validation ballot draft

The TLS-SNI validation type defined in ACME [1] maps most closely to
the Test Certificate concept in Clause 9. The TLS-SNI validation type
works by validating the presentation of a Test Certificate,
self-signed by the Applicant, which contains a Random Value provided
by the CA encoded within the Subject Alternative Name.

To permit the use of the TLS-SNI validation type, I would propose we
keep Doug's updated definition of Test Certificate, and further amend
Clause 9 to provide an either/or for the non-expired Test Certificate,
either:
  1) issued by the CA for the purpose of issuing a certificate with
the same Public Key as in the Test Certificate, or
  2) containing a Random Value

 Clause 9. Confirming the Applicant's control over the requested FQDN
by confirming the presence on the Authorization Domain Name which is
accessible by the CA via TLS over an Authorized Port of a non-expired
Test Certificate either issued by the CA for the purpose of issuing a
certificate with the same Public Key as in the Test Certificate, or
containing a Random Value.

Cheers!
