I believe we should suggest such, as I did in the first draft.

I wouldn't register them. They're still defined by the application which
interprets them (verifies the certs), but we can give guidance. If someone
wants to standardize such a tag, then he can write an I-D to become an RFC.
>Are general guidelines needed for "tag designers"?
Probably.
That should be part of this draft, IMHO.
