That's accurate, but the real question goes back to a discussion we previously 
had at the CAB forum that I don't think was answered - what is a locality vs. a 
state vs. an address? 

In Sept 2019, we put in code that requires this be checked against however map 
software defines it, allowing locality = city or county. However, before that 
the guidance was that locality = locality= whatever the address lookup during 
verification confirmed was locality.  Before revoking this particular cert, I 
figured we needed a clear working definition on locality since I didn't want a 
subjective review of all certs issued prior to Sept 2019.  Does anyone know of 
a definition to use? We (DigiCert) currently uses ISO 3166-2 to define states, 
but I know even that is not universally held (based on the previous discussion 
about adopting it as the definition).

Subject: Clear definition of a "locality"

I sent a problem report to rev...@digicert.com regarding the locality field in:

https://crt.sh/?q=12EC8C05667173603367E8F93B7FDCA7EC60F9838EF3B72A4483BAF48DE48F4B

Jeremy Rowley replied stating that he believed the locality was correct as 
there was no clear definition of a locality, can we get a clear definition of 
this?

If these are considered localities then the streetAddress field seems to be 
obsolete?
