Jim:
As you pointed out in a message last week, the ASN.1 modules in both
rfc2630bis and cmsalg still include IMPORT statements from ITU-T
documents. You recommended that these IMPORT statements reference the
ASN.1 modules in the PKIX documents instead. I did not make this change
because there are no PKIX documents that include the definition of v1
attribute certificates.
As I see it, we have three choices:
1. Do nothing. Continue to IMPORT from ITU-T documents.
2. Use PKIX for everything except for v1 attribute certificates; IMPORT v1
attribute certificates from ITU-T.
3. Use PKIX for everything except for v1 attribute certificates; define v1
attribute certificates in the rfc2630bis appendix.
I prefer either 1 or 3, so that all of the IMPORTS come from the same class
of documents (RFC or ITU-T Recommendation).
If we choose 1, then no further action is needed.
If we choose 3, then I would like to make these editorial changes when any
other IETF Last Call comments are handled. I consider this an editorial
change since it does not impact any implementation. No bits on the wire
are impacted.

[JLS] I would request that the PKIX module be used rather than the
X.509 since that is more widely available.
