Re: Content Type Attribute Question

All,

I do not object to Chris' recommendation.  If his recommendation is
approved, then a context-specific tag needs to be added to the
"ContentTypeExtended other OtherContentType" choice (to distinguish it from
the ExternalContentWithSubtype choice) and the context-specific tags can be
deleted from the OtherContentType syntax (because they are not needed).
This results in the following:

    ContentTypeExtended ::= CHOICE {
        built-in                 BuiltInContentType,
        external                 ExternalContentType,
        externalWithSubtype      ExternalContentWithSubtype,
        other                [0] OtherContentType }

    OtherContentType :: = SEQUENCE {
        type    OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
        value   OCTET STRING }
