Thanks for pointing this out Ryan and Dimitris. You are both correct: we
should direct Taiwan GRCA to change their request from including the root
to including only the subordinate CAs that comply with the Mozilla policy.
The option of adding the non-compliant subordinate CAs to OneCRL does not
meet our policy.

I will determine what additional information we need to change this
inclusion request and will add it to bug 1065896. I then expect to place
this request on hold until we receive the updated information.
