        Following are two further X.509 certificate extension fields I would 
        like to propose:

        (1)  Internet Mail Address
        
        This extension has the ASN.1:
        
          InternetMailAddress ::= PrintableString

While I do support Warwick's proposed extensions in principle, I see a
problem with this proposed ASN.1, unless something has changed in the
recent past since I don't track this stuff anymore.

In particular, the PrintableString syntax does not include the at sign,
character "@", which we all know is essential to email addresses.
