Russ,

[ Changing the Subject to match the document being discussed. ]

Denis:

13. Page 7. The text states:

   serialNumber  holds the serial number that uniquely identifies the
      certificate.

This text is misleading since serial number does not always allow
to uniquely identify a certificate. Replace with:

   serialNumber  holds the serial number of the certificate.

The serial number must be unique for the CA (not universally 
unique).  I think adding some words to clarify this would be better 
than dropping words.

I agree. What about:

    serialNumber  holds the serial number that uniquely identifies 
     a certificate issued by a given CA.
