I guess this is actually the X.509 subjectPublicKeyInfo of
the enclosing certificate, not X.509 C.3 subjectPublicKey... 

Thanks for the example. I eventually pulled the subjectPublicKey
from the bitstring. This minor, but unnecessary, semantic problem confused
us, and our certificate checker, for a while.

I encourage *the* worked example to return to the design (section 2.2) 
of "Some examples of the PKCS standards". It was clearer.
