Granted the cert even for Cert Use DANE-EE(3) must be well-formed in order to see what's in it. But I believe Victor's main point is that the only field *value* that matters for DANE-EE(3) is the Public Key. Issuer, Common Name and SubjectAltName are just deckchairs.

Martin is correct. This is not  well-formed cert as per RFC 5280:

4.1.2.4.Issuer

The issuer field identifies the entity that has signed and issued the

certificate.The issuer field MUST contain a non-empty distinguished

   name (DN)



4.1.2.6.Subject

The subject field identifies the entity associated with the public

carried in the subject field and/or the subjectAltName extension.

We issued 5280bis in part to accommodate DANE's use of ss certs. Please don't provide examples that are obviously non-complaint relative to basic PKIX and
X.509 specs.
