Based on the comments from Ben Kaduk, I drafted the below guidance to CAs.

The delegated certs activities lead to this document in the first place, so it seems appropriate to ask when people think that delegate certificates will be implement?  Will a future version of the delegated certificates document mandate the implementation of the EnhancedJWTClaimConstraints extension?  Do these answers to these questions offer any better guidance than the above?
