It'd be easier to just go with Russ' suggestion of:

ESSCertIDv2 ::= SEQUENCE {
    hashAlgorithm    AlgorithmIdentifier DEFAULT { { algorithm sha-1, 
parameters NULL} }
    certHash         Hash,
    issuerSerial     IssuerSerial OPTIONAL
    }

See my earlier message on why this won't present any backwards-compatibility
problems with the original ESSCertID.
