But it isn't me that sets the criteria, it is in this case ETSI, and the *policy* clearly says that ETSI is acceptable, and apparently ETSI say non-publication is ok.

FWIW, this is irrelevant. *We* require the ETSI. We can also require additional requirements, like that the CPS is published.

or you have to add a new policy or practices point which says that regardless of ETSI, the CPS must be published.

It already states:
"6. We require that all CAs whose certificates are distributed with our software products:
...
* publicly disclose information about their policies and business practices (e.g., in a Certificate Policy and Certification Practice Statement);"

"14. To request that its certificate(s) be added to the default set a CA should submit a formal request by submitting a bug report <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=mozilla.org&component=CA%20Certificates> into the mozilla.org Bugzilla system ...
...
* a Certificate Policy and Certification Practice Statement (or links to a CP and CPS) /or/ equivalent disclosure document(s) for the CA or CAs in question; /and/"

To me, that reads that the CPS (or whatever other document publishes the practices, no matter how it's called, therefore the "equivalent" wording) *must* be public.
