The reference to DirectoryString {}, a parameterized type 
as defined in  X.683, is missing a parameter in ...

  ContentHints ::= SEQUENCE {
     contentDescription  DirectoryString OPTIONAL,
     receipt             BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE 
  }
 
and should contain an integer value, such as in...

  ContentHints ::= SEQUENCE {
     contentDescription  DirectoryString { ub-conDesc } OPTIONAL,
     receipt             BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE 
  }

  ub-conDesc INTEGER ::= 72

[SAH]  Phil is correct.  The value we've used in the MSP world for
a maximum content description length is 128 decimal.  We do need
to modify the ContentHints description and add an INTEGER to bound
the size, but using 128 as the upper bound:

  ub-conDesc INTEGER ::= 128
