insures -> ensures

This one the one hard enables -> This functionality enables

"they accept from any [the] issuing authority to only those  
identifiers that are [agreed to be] subject to a specific  
Authentication Profile."
(remove words in brackets)

subsequent authorization decision -> ... decisions

The last point ("make validation...") is too vaguely stated. Any  
certificate in the chain implies that the RP should honor arbitrarily  
Policy OIDs embedded in self-issued proxy certs. I suggest narrowing  
this down to EE and sub-CA certs for now.

You could add another wishlist item that middleware providers should  
honor the same configuration syntax that controls the OID set and  
namespace constraints... (and the CAOPS group should quickly find  
volunteers that nail down that syntax).
