I hate the arbitrary 64 character limit and would love to see PKIs move away from it.  It has bitten me in the rear so many times I’ve lost count.

No issues with browsers.

I would be happy to bring this up today.

Subject: [cabf_validation] 5280 limitations

Is there interest in creating an exception to 5280 for the following?

1)      Use of underscore characters in host names
2)      Limitation on subject fields to 64 characters
