I found it to be very helpful at first, but then there's some 
inconsistent info and lots of gaps. They've got a good start, though. 
Maybe if they created some way for people to add to the FAQs - I for 
one have a few tidbits and gotchas I'd be willing to share with 
people just getting their first RAQ.

Cool! I'm sure it's mind-bending, but at least I know it's possible now!

For some of my clients this will be great, but some are going to 
insist that the Location field never starts with anything other than 
their domain name. Anyone know of some way I could achieve this while 
still just having one certificate? It really SOUNDS like there 
shouldn't be a way to do this... the whole point of these 
certificates is to identify the server, no?
