Re: [Acme] Add a special token parameter in ACME registration

One possibility would to make it the client's responsibility to request
EV by including the desired O, OU, etc. fields in the Subject DN of the
CSR. It would then be the server's responsibility to accept or reject
the request based on whether the account has a sufficient validation
level (and payment).

One of the big open questions in ACME is how paid CAs will manage the
connection between existing accounts and accounts as defined by ACME. It
sounds like that's a need you're likely to have. Do you have any
particular ideas about how you'd like to manage it?
