Section 3.1 says:
"precertificate_chain" is a chain of additional certificates required to verify the Precertificate submission. The first certificate MAY be a valid Precertificate Signing Certificate and MUST certify the first certificate. Each following certificate MUST directly certify the one preceding it. The final certificate MUST be a root certificate accepted by the log.
It should say:
"precertificate_chain" is a chain of additional certificates required to verify the Precertificate submission. The first certificate MAY be a valid Precertificate Signing Certificate and MUST certify the Precertificate. Each following certificate MUST directly certify the one preceding it. The final certificate MUST be a root certificate accepted by the log.
Notes:
It seems to be a cut and paste error that affects the meaning.
