COMODO UCC / CAB Forum / Internal Domains

Interesting KB article here. I have TWO important question though:

1. If someone is using an “invalid internal domain” (as the KB article suggests) such as MYSITE.GOB, why someone is not eligible to issue a UCC if the TLD GOB is not recognized by IANA/ICANN as a valid TLD?

2. Are Verisign-Symantec, GeoTrust and others following the CAB Forum guidelines already?
Or is it only COMODO? In case they are, is there any proof they are following the CAB Forum guidelines?

One could argue that its not allowed because there’s a strong chance it might become a valid TLD in the very near future. It’s slightly already in use by Spanish-speaking countries to some degree already. (gob.ar, gob.mx, etc.)

[b]2. [/b]Are [s]Verisign[/s]-Symantec, GeoTrust and others following the CAB Forum guidelines already? Or is it only COMODO? In case they are, is there any proof they are following the CAB Forum guidelines?

I don’t think they’re required to furnish proof but chances are they’re following it to the letter.

Thank you for your answer.
