Downgrade ability to update an organization's name and address to SHOULD

"Both the first check in the matching algorithm and the second to last, which compares the "CN" attributes of the certificates' subject fields, provide a means to transparently update an organization's name and address. "
This section would benefit from simplification, at least of the MUSTs. Can we do without that feature, and is that a useful simplification? I think so. It doesn't seem to happen that often. I realize any mismatch between user expectations/abilities and tool model may degrade its security. But I'd still like to argue this aspect is only a SHOULD.
