Melinda,

Based on Ben's response to my attack analysis, in which indicated that 
he had a much
broader definition for mis-issuance, I plan to find the relevant CABF 
docs, and generate
the appendices that I think are needed to define the term accurately. 
I'll revise my
attack analysis text, including the definition of mis-issuance. Once 
that is done,
I'll generate the mapping between cert content and requirements for SCT 
inclusion.

I hope to provide some new text next week.
