It's worth pointing out that this is John's interpretation of the BRs,
not the CAB Forum's. The BRs do not explicitly split certs into these
three levels, nor do the recommend what types of cert should be used for
what services. Additionally, Mozilla has no plans to change our UI to
recognize more than the current two levels (EV, and everything else).
