Jim:

I would certainly get the ASN.1 checked to make sure that it compiles before posting the updated draft in response to IETF Last Call.

Alternative #3 is the only one that we both like. I would like to hear from others.

Russ,

I would have a strong prefrence for either 2 or 3.  (Actually 3 would be
nice since I would then have the ASN.1 for a v1 attribute certificate.)
I disagree that this is a simple editorial change as we need to get
compiles dones of the ASN.1 before it is finished and I don't want to
try that in the 48 hour editors area.  In the past changes to the ASN.1
modules have been deemed non-editorial changes.
