As I said: "start with the easy bits".

*This* proposal is "start with PA" (because the CA TF though that it would
be easier to start with just a subset).  

When we get this done, the CA-TF - or anyone else who wants to driver this
forward - can do another one for PI and/or ERX space.

This sounds like a good rationale why we didn't cover PI in this initial
proposal - more thought is needed.  So please don't drag this specific
thread into "how to do it with PI?" land, but focus on *this* proposal

  "do certificates for PA, or not?"

You're welcome to propose a parallel proposal for PI right away - but
I think process-wise it would be easier to wait for a decision on this
one, and then base the next on it.
