Adding 400 bytes per certificate will make EV certificates unusable by entities

BTW Jeremy, in seeking to get some perspective on this issue, I notice that the current EV cert for www.digicert.com has a Certificate Policies User Notice that takes up 338 bytes! (2 bytes per character, 'cos for some reason you use a BMPString).

"Any use of this Certificate constitutes acceptance of the DigiCert CP/CPS and the Relying Party Agreement which limit liability and are incorporated herein by reference"

Is it really necessary to include this notice in each cert?

Have any "entities concerned with performance" complained about it?

You could save 169 bytes immediately by simply switching from BMPString to UTF8String! ;-)
