StartCom were blatently lying, I don't think Symantec have stooped that low.

Hard to say which is worse, the intentional lying or the fact that Symantec has repeatedly violated the BR's and root store policies despite the appearance of best efforts not to.

Yeah seriously, every time Symantec slips up it seems like their response is some variant of "lol whoops, we didn't know we weren't supposed to issue certificates for entities other than the owner!"
