           Perahps the best approach is to warn implementors of the need
   to retain the UTCT value info in a form which allows later
   recomputation of of the certificate hash, pointing out the possible
   hazzards.  This allows them the freedom to retain the encoded form for
   later use or do whatever they prefer, so long as the externally
   visible effect is the same.

           We also con point out the lack of century indication and warn
   folks of the need to accommodate this lack in performing comparisons
   across century boundaries.

           All in favor ...

Fine with me.
