7.  Section 2.2:  I strongly suggest that you change the parameters for
the key wrap algorithm OIDs to be ABSENT rather than NULL.

How is ABSENT that you say the meaning that says? We are using the word
called NULL is 'the parameter does not exist,but parameter field exist'. 

I think that this one is good.  It is because it becomes clear that the
parameter does not exist. 

On the other hand, there is the possibility that is interpreted that
default is used, if place itself that designates the parameter is absent. 

Regards.
