I only understand this "independent validation of domain control" because
I'm on the thread. I don't think CAs who aren't actively involved will
understand what it means. DigiCert has an RA. It's DigiCert.  We validate
our certificate orders and submit them to the CA for issuance. I think it
should be clarified that this is referencing a) third-party RAs and b) where
the CA relies on the RA to perform the domain validation function required
under the Baseline Requirements. 

Something like: "Does your CA have any third-party Registration Authority
(RA)s program that the CA relies on to perform the domain validation
required under Section 3.2.2.4 of the Baseline Requirements."
