These are all good arguments (which I subscribe to) for why treating
commercial X.509 as a "successful" trust infrastructure that other identity
standards should be leveraging in place of new approaches is a really,
really stupid idea.

But I don't think they're relevant to a document describing how one should
verify server identity against X.509 certificate content, particularly with
respect to anything that isn't a CN RDN or a sAN.

By all means rail against the idiocy of this stuff, and I'll join in since
there are still people pushing it constantly and belittling those who
disagree, but I don't think it needs to be part of this draft.
