Certificates of this nature should be rare and are not allowed per the CABForum baseline requirements. However there may be a small compatibility risk associated with this change, so a CSR has also been filed.

About the CSR, did you have a plan to update the "Endpoint Identification Algorithms" in the [Java Security Standard Algorithm Names](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/specs/security/standard-names.html#endpoint-identification-algorithms) documentation?   Currently, the "HTTPS" name is defined for RFC 2818.  With this update is may be worth to mention the compliant to RFC 6125, like

    HTTPS | RFC 2818, compliant with RFC 6125
