In practice this has been stipulated for public CAs by the CA/Browser 
Forum Baseline Requirements since September 2017: 
https://cabforum.org/2017/03/08/ballot-187-make-caa-checking-mandatory/.

In other words, the CP for this particular community of trust 
incorporates RFC 6844, making it mandatory. The intent is that once 
RFC6844bis is standardized, CA/Browser Forum will have a followup ballot 
incorporating it.
