This ballot proposes making the AIA extension SHOULD instead of MUST for subscriber certificates. This is because the permissible accessMethods are both optional. (id-ad-caIssuers is a SHOULD, and id-ad-ocsp is a MAY.)

Thus, it seems reasonable to make AIA a SHOULD as well, since no RP can depend on a particular accessMethod being present regardless.
