You should not confuse that OID with the one specified in Section 2 for
the md2 **message digest** algorithm.  The md2 OID is the one that should
be used in the digestAlgorithm component of the SEQUENCE used when
applying RSAEncryption to a MIC.

You are correct.  Fortunately, I did not confuse things when doing the
actual implementation (as I had a decoded certificate in hand!).
