Scott:

Good catch.  I think that we should make the label a SEQUENCE to fix this
problem.  Also, if we want to tag one of the INTEGERs, I would prefer to
tag version.

The ESSSecurityLabel structure includes two INTEGER types:

 version Version DEFAULT v1

and
 security-classification SecurityClassification OPTIONAL

when an optional security classification is present, don't we have
a tagging problem within the ESSSecurityLabel SET?  Shouldn't one of
these INTEGER types include a context specific tag, such as

 security-classification [0] SecurityClassification OPTIONAL

I believe we do have an ambiguous tag situation, and would propose
that the security-classification definition be changed to include
a context specific tag as defined above.
